IMO, for the people in those empty positions to be different than we 
assume.
The "Dark Lord's" servant is not specifically named in the 
prophecy made by Trelawney in PoA either.

Berit replies:

Well, Voldemort practically says Crouch Jr's name without actually 
saying it:
Quote: "He is at Hogwarts, that faithful servant, and it was through 
his efforts that our young friend arrived tonight."

I don't think there can be much doubt that "the faithful servant" is 
none other than Crouch Jr. He was the one that made sure Harry's name 
was put into the Goblet of Fire, he made sure Harry made it to the 
end of the Triwizard Tournament, he was the one who turned the Cup 
into a portkey... As to the two other missing places in Voldemort's 
DE circle, I agree they can be open for other people than Snape and 
Karkaroff.

It's true that Trelawney doesn't mention Pettigrew by name in her 
prophecy, but both Harry and Dumbledore (PoA p. 310-311 UK Ed) seems 
to believe he is the servant Trelawney prophesized would help 
Voldemort back to power. They could be wrong of course :-)
