	I was under the impression that Bagman never was a Death Eater. He
passed on Ministry secrets to a confirmed Death Eater, yes, but I don't
think he was officially a Death Eater himself. His jabbering about how he
didn't realize he was giving info to the evil side instead of the good
side seemed pretty authentic, particularly given what a dunce he is; but
no matter how much of a dunce he is, I doubt being given the Dark Mark or
coming face-to-face with Voldemort is something he'd be likely to
misinterpret. I think he was well-intentioned, but very very thick.
	Not all those who help Voldemort become Death Eaters, you realize; 
those are the elite, Voldemort's inner circle, not the sum total of his 
spy network.
