I don’t attach very high probability to this, but: Yermy Wibble? (The guy who proposed a magical draft and was killed for it.)
ETA: To clarify, the reason I think it’s a bit improbable is that the mysterious guy’s family was dead when he returned, whereas Yermy’s family was killed at the same time he was.
Double edit: Forgot that Wibble was first introduced in Chapter 3, in a way that made it clear he’s not this guy. This is clearly wrong, forget it.
No. Madam Bones said that the man she suspects Quirrell of being just disappeared (and, indeed, was the last of his family before he did so).
Granted we don’t know where most of Wibble went, but 1) he had a family, and they were peeled as well, and 2) I don’t think having your skin found flapping loose in your office counts as a mysterious disappearance.

A bit improbable? Another difference would be that Wibble was killed, rather than disappeared.
