>>For the life of me I cannot find my copy of GOF, and I don't recall 
if they actually found Barty Senior's body. If they DID, well, forget 
what I just said. But if they didn't...if Barty Jr. and Barty Sr. 
were involved in a mutual conspiracy, Junior could have lied when he 
said he killed his father.>>

Sorry, but unless you want to go against what we know of Veritaserum, 
then what Barty Jr. said about killing has father stands...

"...*snip* I could not hurt Potter, my master needed him.  Potter ran 
to get Dumbledore.  I Stunned Krum.  I killed my father." [Bartr Jr., 
under Veritaserum]
*snip Winky's hysterics*
"You killed your father," Dumbledore said, in the same soft 
voice.  "What did you do with the body?"
"Carried it into the forest.  Covered it with the Invisibility 
Cloak.  I had the map with me.  I watched Potter run into the castle. 
*snip*  Dumbeldore told me to go and look for my father.  I went back 
to my father's body.  Watched the map.  When everyone was gone, I 
Transfigured my father's body.  He became a bone...I bured it, while 
wearing the Invisibility Cloak, in the freshly dug earth in fron of 
Hagrid's cabin." (GoF, American Edition, Hardback, First Edition, Pg. 
690.

So there you have it, he had to have been telling the truth.

Also, again, as I said in a reply to Margaret's post about the 
servant mentioned by Trewlaney maybe being Barty Jr:  Trelawney said 
the words "Tonight, before midnight...the servant will break free and 
set out to rejoin his master."  That night(meaning the one in PoA, 
when Harry and Hermion go through that TimeTurner madness) is when 
the servant had to break free and rejoin.  The things that Barty 
Jr/Sr did that relate to the Prediction happened *months* later.  So, 
they can't be the servant.
