I don't understand what's going on in Corvus Lestrange's head. I know he's a rapist and an abuser, but this man is also completely nuts. He loved Corvus Jr., yet he entrusted his life to fucking Mary Lou Barebone of all people. Did Corvus even check who was going to care for his beloved child? And after sending his son away, he seemingly forgot about him entirely. Maybe Corvus died shortly after that - okay, fine. But this whole story is still completely insane!

"I thought at first it would be easy," Yusuf said. He hadn't known, back then, an angry, grieving boy, that his oath would devour the next two decades of his life.
"He had only one close relative."
Had his father known what his oath could have required?
Yusuf had known. Who else could it have been? But he hadn't comprehended it. Over the next few years, as he'd tracked the Lestranges down, he had rarely allowed himself time to think of anything beyond fulfilling his oath. He had not thought of the consequences.
Not until he'd realized that the man both he and his father hated above all others cared only for his son. He'd been surprised at the relief he'd felt when he shifted his target from the Lestrange daughter to the Lestrange son.
If it had been her, he would only have killed her out of duty, unable to break his oath. Quick and painless, nothing more. She'd committed no crime.
Despite all these past wasted years, so much of his time, money, and effort searching for the vanished Corvus Lestrange, he was glad it wasn't her. The killing of one's own blood was a terrible thing.
"You," he told her as she gazed at him. How much of this story did she know? Of her parents, of his quest for revenge? He didn't know.
Leta looked so much like Maman it hurt to look at her.
"But..." He faltered. It seemed cruel to say it aloud, and he didn't want to hurt her. It wasn't her fault that she was her father's daughter.
"Say it," she whispered, looking only for confirmation, like she'd always known this, what had been easy for him to ascertain, what she'd known all her life.
He said it. "He never loved you."
Corvus Lestrange: *literally put Laurena Kama under the Imperius Curse so he could have her*
Merope Gaunt: *dosed Tom Riddle Sr. with Amortentia so she could have him*
You do realize that if Severus Snape was that obsessed with Lily that he could have done either of those two things, right? No, he didn't and that should tell you something.

'A son cruelly banished
Despair of the daughter
Return, great avenger
With wings from the water.'
Tycho Dodonus, Prophecy 20.
TSOD SPOILER.
I’ve just been re-reading the Crimes of Grindelwald screenplay, and suddenly wondered: We know the prophecy was proven not to be about the Lestrange family, but could it still be related to the Dumbledore family somehow?
It’s very raw thinking, but hear me out:
A son cruelly banished - could still refer to Credence/Aurelius Dumbledore. As Aberforth’s lover was discovered to be pregnant, she was sent away, forcibly separated from Abe, and their newborn son boarded with (probably) family members on a ship for America. Moreover, in Secrets of Dumbledore, Gellert also convinced Aurelius that he had been banished by his family, that his brothers rejected him, and that his parents Kendra & Percival didn’t want him.
Despair of the daughter - This one is tricky, but as with any prophecies it needs to be interpreted. I believe the daughter here refers to Ariana and her despair to the Obscurus. Something that both Ariana and Credence/Aurelius share. Despair also in the sense of the Dumbledores already suffered such tragedy before through Ariana (whose Aberforth was very close), and must suffer it again through Aurelius, Abe’s own son. It’s a double pain, a punishment. As if the family was cursed by fate itself.
Return, great avenger - During Secrets of Dumbledore, Credence/Aurelius believed to be the forgotten son, the banished "brother". He left Nurmengard when learning that Albus was in Berlin. He followed him in the streets and waited for him to be alone before attacking. He sought revenge, he sought answers. He returns to his "brother" to avenge his abandonment.
With wings from the water - Let’s start with the last part which is the easiest to link. The ship sunk, filled with water, and Credence (then thought to be Corvus) is miraculously saved. He has risen from the water, reborn like a phoenix from its ashes. And then come the first part: The wings of a Phoenix. The Dumbledores' emblem. The family pet. Fawkes who has followed Aurelius since Crimes of Grindelwald. Who was there to watch over him in his agony in Secrets of Dumbledore, protecting him at the end of his duel with Albus, comforting him in Nurmengard when he was receiving the messages of his father (who he didn't know was his father at this time) on the mirror.
Well, that’s simply theories on my part and it might just completely be rubbish. But at the same time, prophecies have such important meaning in HP, and always have proven to be true (thinking especially about Trelawney here). So I don’t think this one would have been thrown into the narrative only to be denied later once Leta’s whole plot was uncovered. Then again, this could still refer to the Dumbledores, but can be interpreted differently from what I did. If you want to take a guess, please be my guest.
Wait... Abernathy and Vinda took the Lestrange family tree from the Room of Records and brought it to the Lestrange family tomb. They could have swapped it with an imitation, right? Or maybe they have manipulated the original? (I don't think this should be easy but who knows what you can do with dark magic!) But this leaves some room for what happened to Corvus... maybe he didn't die after all?
Remember this dialogue in Crimes of Grindelwald?
*Dumbledore: Leta, I know how painful the rumours about your brother Corvus might be for you...
Leta: No! You don't. Not unless you had a brother that died too.
Dumbledore: In my case, it was my sister.
Leta: Did you love her?
Dumbledore: Not as well as I should've done.*
And so begins the saga of the Secrets of Dumbledore...
