As for added possibilities: Torpoint is just on the water across from Plymouth. It's been a ferry point for hundreds of years. And a smugglers' haven. Both of them are.
And as we've said from the outset, it's a key location for us given that it's just across the inlet from Saltash.
For the rest of you: that's why they were eager to talk to us initially. They're all very much aware of what happened at Saltash and they've got ties to the people who were interned there in addition to having done business supplying the camp. Legman and his family have been farming at Torpoint for generations, but most of the other farms were owned by Muggles until they were forced into Saltash camp. The farms were taken over by wizards, obviously, most of them related to Legman one way or another, but they've basically been hiring the farmers back out of the camps all along, and they'd worked out a collective that kept the original owners as parties of the agreement with a secret, but explicit promise that if the Protectorate ever ends, they'll all share ownership, Muggle and Wizard alike. Sadly, they lost a lot of folks to the uprising at Saltash, and it was because they wanted information about people there that brought us together at first.
They're a good fit for us for all those reasons. If we're able to Fidelius on the scale required.
