In PoA and GoF, Sirius reveals that many Death Eaters were never 
caught. Perhaps Hagrid is basing his statement upon his knowledge of 
the "known" Death Eaters, such as Lucius Malfoy and Voldemort.

I agree that Crouch Jr probably wasn't the Slytherin type, which is 
why Dumbledore told Harry he didn't know if Crouch Jr was guilty of 
the charges. What puzzles me is how Snape immediately recognized 
Crouch Jr. According to Sirius, Crouch Jr was about 17 or 18 when he 
was imprisoned. Did Snape know him from Hogwarts? (If we could find 
this out, then we could figure out the Marauder's ages!)
