I think we were assuming that his absence would have been noted if he had taken things into his own hands. Also he has always shown a marked reluctance to act for himself, using his money to get others to do things. In fact, he says annoying or offensive things over the years but I can think of very few times he is described as doing something, whether hexing another student or participating in activities. I see him, and by extension his mother, acting behind the scenes to make things happen but never getting their own hands dirty.
