I do believe that Barty Jr admits to putting Harry's name in the 
Goblet--it's right after Harry comes back from the graveyard, I 
think, and Barty/FakeMoody takes him aside into his office.  

However, I think you've convinced me that Bagman is a DE.  
You're right, he *was* the one who could have looked for Bertha 
Jorkins but didn't.  And he probably *was* the one who thought of 
bringing the tournament back.  Whether he was the "most 
faithful" DE or not, it does begin to look like he was one, and got 
off because everybody was impressed with his athletic prowess.  
(Parallels in the Muggle world, anyone?)
