Where is Croaker?

No: HPFGUIDX 72741

After reading and re-reading the last 4 books for the past three 
years and putting together all sorts of theories and correlations, I 
was not at all surprised when the department of mysteries was brought 
into this plot. (GoF 86) When we FIRST hear of Bode, he is introduced 
as Bode and Croaker. Its probably nothing, but after years of 
referring to them (in my mind) as Bode and Croaker, when Bode is 
mentioned all throughout this book with no mention of Croaker, I 
found this odd. With the death eaters trying to break in to the Dept. 
almost every night and Lucius Malfoy sneaking around by day, why was 
there never a mention of croaker. (he may have been the old, wheezy-
voiced stooped wizard that was visiting Broderick Bode in St. Mungo's)

My first thought was that he was bad, a death eater. Then I thought 
of the dream Harry had with Rookwood and Avery. It was Avery who had 
given Voldemort information on the department of mysteries, then 
after the death eaters were set free, Rookwood corrected him. So if 
Croaker was a death eater, Voldemort would have quesitoned him about 
the prophecy and not relied on Avery. Does this imply that the 
department of mysteries is still important in the upcoming books? We 
know that Harry has that power that is locked behind the door. We 
also that Harry will at least have to set foot in the ministry one 
more time, (Level 6, apparation test center)

If anyone has any ideas, I would just like to know what people think, 
maybe I have over-analyzed the books to death
