This topic has been debated at length, but there are always new 
theories.  Somewhere in some interview, and I'll look for it if I 
find the time, JKR said she had intended to kill off Mad-Eye Moody, 
but she liked his character so much she kept him instead. That, to 
me, suggests that Moody was the one who was supposed to be killed in 
GoF, when he is attacked by Wormtail and Crouch Jr.  We all know JKR 
reworked the plot a great deal, so I contend the "one more death" is 
something she simply missed correcting the first time around, and 
that it would have been Moody.
