Apparently all the Death Eaters had their assigned places in the 
circle, so they would know who had been the six people in that gap 
where Voldemort was speaking. If they didn't know about Barty 
having come back to life, they would have thought 4 of the 6 
were dead and been surprised as soon as V said 'three dead in 
my service' instead of 'four dead in my service'. How can the identiy 
of the Death Eaters be secret from each other, as Karkaroff claimed 
and good management suggests, if they all stood in the same circle and 
V addressed them by name?
