OK.  So if Voldie never uses names, and no one really knows who 
follows him (except for Voldie himself), why did he use names within 
the circle of Death Eaters?

If no one knows who was a DE, why do some know each other as DEs?  
How does Karakoff know about Snape?  
  
These questions are some of the things that have been bothering me.  
In the posts here, it seems that many are torn on these issues.  Some 
believe that Voldie does not keep his information very hidden, and 
others think that only those in the inner circle of DE knew each 
other.  
I have been looking for evidence within the texts to see which I can 
adhere too...I'm at a loss.  

Here are some of my questions now---
Is it really a secret that Snape was a spy for Dumbledore? 
Dumbledore does publicly stand up for Snape.  He says that Snape 
turned spy for him before the fall of Voldie.  If this is public 
knowledge (at least within the WW), how can Snape return to the DE?

Lockheart???  We know he is still at St. Mungo's--but could he be the 
person possible that quoted for Rita's article? 

We know that the real Moody was aprehensive about Snape being on 
Dumbledore's side.  We also know (thanks to some interviews with JKR) 
that we will like the real Moody even more than the fake one (well 
most of us did at first!). Is he still not sure about Snape?   Who 
will we trust?  Dumbledore or Moody?
