I think the 10 in Azakaban, only the Lestranges held the most 
interest since Bellatrix was something of a protege of his and they 
along with Crouch were the only ones that attempted to find him after 
he got slagged by his own AK.

Probably. I think there were a lot of lower tiered DEs that he didn't 
mention and people like Regulus who all either bought the farm or are 
probably in Azkaban.

I think he just didn't bother mentioning people like Mulciber, 
Rookwood and Dolohov. Snape and Karakoff were mentioned since they 
had betrayed him and Crouch was mentioned since he had stayed loyal 
like the Lestranges.

Most of the big ones mentioned in the pensieve have all been broken 
out in OOTP. Rookwood, Mucliber, Dolohov and the three Lestranges. I 
don't think any of them in Azkaban would be of significance probably 
just the minor ones of no use.
