Two of these were Evan Rosier, and someone called Wilkes, both of 
whom were friends of Snape's while at Hogwarts.  Black says in 
GoF "they were both killed by aurors the year before Voldemort 
fell".  The third, we don't yet know.

I think in GoF it says Voldemort passed by some people in his circle 
without comment. Perhaps he passed by some gaps without comment too? 
As for the identities of "one too frightened to return" and "one who 
has left me forever"  we *assume* are Karkaroff and Snape 
respectively, but I do wonder whether this is just what we are meant 
to assume?  JKR and her red herrings.  Maybe Snape was present in the 
circle of DE's that night, and Voldemort walked past  him without 
comment?  Is there any good reason why not?
  He could easily have apparated back in time to bounce into Moody's 
office looking menacing, and then check out his reflection in the Foe 
Glass ("Who's that ugly git?  He looks like my mother.")   I know 
Dumbledore claimed to have realised Moody was up to no good because 
he moved Harry after D said not to, but maybe the returning Snape 
tipped him off?  Dumbledore then lied about it to cover for Snape as 
a spy?

Just a thought.
