Potioncat:
How many of the 12 were named?  (Sorry, I don't know the answer.)  I 
also thought (think) Goyle wasn't there because as you say he wasn't 
named and usually we think of Crabbe and Goyle together.  But we 
don't really know if he was there. 

So, if he was there, he is in Azkaban.  It doesn't appear that 
anyone escaped.  If he wasn't there, he has at least been cast in a 
bad light and will need to be careful, now that the MoM will be 
rounding up suspicious characters.
