remove a pointless question (the Manor's location is mentioned in the general overview); expand on the location issue a bit in case people think Wiltshire is architecture rather than location |

When we see Lucius Malfoy in ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'', it is mentioned that he seems a prisoner in his own house. We are aware that he had been captured in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]] with a number of other Death Eaters at the end of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], and had been sentenced to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Azkaban|Azkaban]]. Events lead us to believe that he was part of an unpublicized mass breakout from Azkaban, and so presumably must remain hidden in fear of re-arrest. One wonders why he alone among those who have escaped from Azkaban seems to be restricted in his travels; speculation on that topic will be found in the character write-up for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius Malfoy]]. However, it is worth noting that even a house as grand as Malfoy Manor appears to be, can be quite confining when one is not allowed to leave it.
It is mentioned that Malfoy Manor is in Wiltshire, in the south of England. It is perhaps intentional that this is the same area of England, roughly, as the Salisbury Plains and Stonehenge. There is a Muggle belief that there is something magical about this area. It is possible that the Malfoy family is playing on this belief, or is the source of it, being magical themselves; or it may be fact, and the Malfoys placed their home here to make use of the magic ambiance.

{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
It is noted elsewhere that Voldemort had found his own ancestral home, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Riddle Manor|Riddle Manor]], possibly too far from the center of the Wizarding world to be of much use as a base of operations. One gets the feeling that Malfoy Manor is equally remote from London, though apparently people do commute to London from Swindon, which is within Wiltshire. Given this, why would Voldemort select Malfoy Manor as his headquarters? It is safe to assume that Voldemort likes his creature comforts as much as anyone, and therefore is likely to select a residence that is already equipped with all necessary conveniences. Add to this the fact that Riddle Manor is unprotected from passing strangers, and Malfoy Manor already has high walls and gates, and probably a reputation as not being a good place for Muggles to observe too closely, and we can see that taking over the Malfoy residence is much more appealing.
