Potioncat:
I know I should snip, but
We're told by Karkaroff that not all the DEs know each other (and we 
seem to think he's telling the truth) (From the Pensieve in GoF)  In 
one of the books, Ron says that Malfoy had been charged as being a DE 
but got out of it...so it's not exactly unknown about him. I'm 
wondering how many of the names were surprises to other DEs and to 
the population at large. (For example, did Snape know about Nott?)
