Well, that still doesn't exclude him from being a member of the "Old 
Crowd", IMO. I've always been under the impression that the "Old 
Crowd" simply refered to the people who were within Dumbledore's 
circle of the Voldemort Resistance. I think this included Remus, 
Sirius, Mundungus, Arabella, the Potters. Snape as well, IMO, but I 
think he was working on a different agenda, aside from the "Old 
Crowd", as he was a spy. There were most certainly others, too.
