Pulling out my GoF... Okay, my UK paperback, page 565, has three dead DEs, three missing. One of the missing is cowardly and he will pay, one has left forever and he will be killed, and the last missing DE is at Hogwarts.

Of the three missing, the last is clearly Crouch Jr. But there are two others, and we have to go with what we know. Snape's a missing DE. And then there's Karkaroff. Do we know where he is? Is he dead yet? I think he's the one who will be killed. He hasn't the guts or connections, it seems, to make up something about his absence. 

Snape, on the other hand, can say that he simply can't make it to the meeting or else DD will catch him, and then he can take his punishment and move on. I think this makes him all the more noble, because he knows he'll be tortured for not making the staff meeting that night <g>, but he has to spy for the Order, so he sucks it up for the greater good.  :)
