Actually, I think we know he's *not* a death eater, because of
what Voldemort says about the death eaters (one a coward, one
left my service, one at hogwarts) - Bagman was still at hogwarts
at this point, so he can't have been one of the ones there, and
the three refer to Snape, Karkaroff and Crouch.
