Sherrie here:

Depends on the transliterator, I guess - I've seen both spellings used, even 
for the former Imperial Family.  (It bugs me - but not as much as 
transliterating "tsar" as "czar"! <g>)

You may be right, that Karkaroff is from one of the other Eastern European 
countries - unfortunately, I don't speak Bulgarian, Romanian, or any of the 
other dialects from that area...
