Again, I always agree that there are more D.Es and more troops to Voldemort's 
army, so to speak. To me it has always made sense that there is a small inner 
core- the most trusted, the most useful, etc.  The people in the inner circle 
are probably, like Lucius rich, influential, and most likely talented 
wizards/witches. They carry out the plans from the base, so to speak, and 
wrangle the others into position. In any military or political group there is 
almost always a structure like this found. The inner circle gives the 
important information to leader and vice versa. They aid in the decisions and 
start the gears in motion for the lesser ranks.
