We just recently closed with a Title company. The original inspector was recommended by the realtor and his report was sent to the realtor first. The day after the inspection, the neighbor saw him enter the attic again with tools and some lengthy time later came out. We suspect he was fixing 'something'. After wondering where his report was, the realtor emailed us a copy. We are hesitant to contact the aforesaid realtor but do we contact the Title company. Very upset and concerned. This house is our major asset.

This is a heavy duty issue. You make mention that you purchased the home based an insurable roof. I am not sure what you mean by this? However it suggest that you knew the roof was a problem? Was it disclosed by the seller/realtor? and to what extent? you spoke of a few shingles and then explain that your insurance carrier claims the roof is uninsurable. You state the realtor recommended the inspector. This may be a conflict of interest?
In any event there are a number of potential defendants if this case goes to suit. FOR YOUR SAKE DON'T SPEAK TO ANY ONE ELSE UNTIL YOU CALL AN ATTORNEY. KEEP ALL WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION YOU WERE GIVEN CLOSE AT HAND WHAT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY SAW, SAID AND DID IS ALSO CRUCIAL EVIDENCE.
This is not something Senor v Crimes should be consulted about
Good luck
