Mr and Miss Longbottom are well used to having their parents held against them, I suspect.
From memory I can say they were certain of you lot, plus Shacklebolt, Meadows, the gentleman who prefers his name be kept out of the journals — mostly the Aurors. I was careful who Consensus was (forgive me, Molly) that Molly was nothing more than the housewife she appeared, and her brothers' political actions did not run in the family. If the Longbottoms were ever confirmed among the Death Eaters as belonging to the Order most definitely, it was after I was no longer in a position to know; the last word I could speak to with confidence had them on the suspect list, but that was during the time when Alice's pregnancy and the presence of a young child kept them from ever being confirmed that I knew of.
Miss Granger is correct that reviving the name might cause the Dark Lord to look more closely for Albus's presence. He cannot conceive of an organisation held together by shared ideals rather than by a charismatic individual. I judge that to be an acceptable risk; Albus might have a different opinion.
