Ginger:

Oooh, Catherine!  You got me thinking!  Crouch's mark could come in 
handy.  Think on it:

Canon: 
DE's have Dark Marks.
LV can summon them by pressing the Dark Mark of one of his 
followers.  
When summoned, the Dark Mark burns upon their arm.  
The Dark Mark is visible to others.

So, if Crouch is in the Rutabega ward at St. Mungo's, someone could 
be monitering his mark to find out when/if LV is summoning his 
minions.  Whether or not they could use this to find out more 
information is up for grabs, but they would know at least that 
something was up.

Snape's mark could be used also, but if LV has doubts about him, he 
may have "deactivated" it.  I guess that all depends on what Snape is 
doing for the Order and how he is doing it.  

Just a thought that entered my mind.  
Ginger, who is sick of -30 temps!  And that's without the windchill.
