SSSusan:
I think you're right, Josh, that if Snape *isn't* one of the three 
Voldy mentions, it might be because he realizes Snape couldn't get 
away from Hogwarts immediately without arousing DD's suspicions.

On the other issue--I'm away from my books, so I probably shouldn't 
take this on, but if I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me.  
*Is* it true that there were only three who were missing who weren't 
in Azkaban?  Weren't there several gaps around the circle?  I thought 
that Voldy simply *discussed* three but that they didn't comprise all 
the missing DEs in toto.  Can someone confirm or correct me?
