Professor McGonagall
An old Muggle man who's been the caretaker at the Riddle House for decades. He fought in World War II and because of this, he has a limp. He was accused and arrested when the Riddle family was murdered but when the police couldn't discover a cause of death, they set Frank free. In the present, Frank continues to maintain the grounds of the Riddle House and wages war against the local village boys who cruelly break windows and mess up the lawn. Voldemort kills Frank when Frank notices a fire in the old house and believes that the local boys set it.
