• Savage
a deceased Auror, probably killed by Death Eaters, who was stationed at Hogwarts with
Tonks in 1997.
In the course of his duties, Ogden, "disguised" in a strange assortment of Muggle clothes,
and went to the Gaunt Shack, to interview one of its occupants; Morfin Gaunt, when the
Department had reason to believe, and later had confirmed information, that not only did
he perform magic in front of a Muggle (Tom Riddle Sr.) the previous night, but he
accosted that same Muggle and performed a jinx or hex and caused him to erupt in highly
painful hives.
Ogden died some time before 1996, of natural causes, but not before Albus Dumbledore,
during his investigations into Lord Voldemort's mysterious past, tracked him down and
persuaded Ogden to confide his recollections of his encounter with the Gaunt family to
him. These memories were placed in his Pensieve and later shown to Harry Potter. Ogden
remained unaware that his actions set the stage for the creation and rise of Voldemort
himself.
Presumably, Cecilia lost contact with the Riddle family after Tom married Merope,
though it is possible that she became part of his life again after he abandoned his wife and
returned to Little Hangleton.
