In GoF, Frank Bryce overhears Voldemort telling wormtail "...one more 
death and our path to Harry Potter is clear". 
Who is the unfortunate person to get killed before Harry?
At first guess I would say Barty Crouch:  they must break into his 
house and rescue his imprisoned son.  But wait!  They can't kill 
him.  They need him to be alive so as not to arouse suspicion at the 
ministry before Voldy has his body back.

waht about Moody?  They can't murder him either.  They need his hairs 
and his brain so Barty jr.  can act convincingly like mad-eye.

So who is it?
