Frank Longbottom was an Auror who, with his wife Alice, was captured and tortured by Death Eaters seeking information about Voldemort. The torture left both parents permanently incapacitated and unable to recognize their son, Neville. Though Frank is only discussed rather than shown, the consequences of his suffering shape the Longbottom family’s history and Neville’s life.
