"However, it makes one wonder just why he revealed the people he did.  In
the case of Bellatrix everyone knew she was a DE; there was no need to hide
it.  But why did he address Malfoy?  Was it because he wanted to make him
vulnerable when he was too powerful for LV to attack openly?"

DuffyPoo now:

I think Malfoy is like Bella and was well-known within the group.  LV also
mentioned, by name, Avery, Macnair, Crabbe, Goyle, Nott and all those
present in the graveyard saw Pettigrew.  From OotP we know that Malfoy is
known to all three of the Lestranges, Crabbe and Goyle we already knew were
'friends', Jugson, Dolohov, Macnair, Avery, Mulciber and Rookwood.  I think
Malfoy is one of LV's right-hand men....but I also think Malfoy has plans of
his own. :)  JMO.
