Annemehr:
Okay, I checked GoF and OoP.  You're right, all of the previously
identified DEs except Goyle, Pettigrew, and Bellatrix have been
captured.  I thought it might be interesting to try to estimate how
many DEs LV might have left:

DEs named in GoF graveyard circle but not in DoM:
Wormtail
Goyle

DEs named in GoF graveyard appearing in DoM:
Avery
Malfoy
Macnair
Crabbe
Nott

Other DEs appearing in DoM:
Jugson
Bellatrix
Rodolphus
Rabastan
Dolohov
Rookwood
Mulciber

>From either GoF (pensieve scene) or OoP, we know that the last six
were Azkaban escapees, but Jugson could be either an escapee or one of
the graveyard DEs that LV passed in silence.  Since ten DEs escaped
from prison (OoP ch. 25), that means three or four escapees were not
in the DoM that night.  Now, my impression of the graveyard scene in
GoF is that there had to have been quite a few DEs that LV passed in
silence, but I hate to try to put a number on it.  Still, let's see
what we can come up with for the DEs still at large:

2 named DEs from the graveyard who did not participate
3 (or 4) escapees who did not participate
1 participant (Bellatrix) rescued by LV
? unnamed DEs from the graveyard who did not participate

That leaves Voldemort with more than six DEs, and I would feel pretty
safe assuming he has at least ten left after the DoM debacle.  So he
does have a few minions left -- at least half.

Annemehr:
There's one thing I remembered about DE Nott that's interesting,
though it doesn't affect Hickengruendler's theory too much.  Someone
once (before OoP) pointed out that in the GoF graveyard, Nott is
described as a "stooped figure," which makes him sound old -- old
enough to be Theodore Nott's grandfather, perhaps?
