Well - his identity will be important, I believe; 
That person *could* be anyone, even a female who's using polyjuice 
potion; We just don't know. We don't know if Crouch Jr had anything 
to do with the torture, only that he's DE, though Crouch Jr does use 
Crucio until someone stops him as if he were unable to do so on his 
own - which *does* fit with Longbottoms destiny; but even style isn't 
proper evidence.

But I have one guess of this person's identity:

Romulus Lupin, a twin-brother to Remus Lupin, who went to Durmstrang, 
thus explaining partly why Sirius doubted Remus to be the traitor AND 
Sirius' extreme care about Durmstrang students later?
