I'm not sure this was loyalty in the same way that, say Ron & Hermione &
Harry are (when not having fights) loyal to each other  - we don't know
enough about the Lestranges, but I can imagine Barty Crouch helping them out
with their Evil Plan to find voldemort by any means necessary not out of
"loyalty" but out of desparation to recapture the power they could have had
if Voldemort had been able to take over (although there's the issue of *why*
anyone would want to find the defeated & powerless Voldemort in the first
place, because how much power could he provide to his followers in those
defeated circumstances?)
