I really like your theory! 

It actually changes my mind about some things, and now I am starting 
to look at the "three" (left forever, coward, faithful) differently.

We all know Crouch Jr. is the "faithful one"
I like your idea of Karkaroff as the "One who's left forever"
But, I possibly Ludo Baggman is the "Coward" ????

The argument that Snape is still doing work for the Order, and also 
that he is close with Malfoy, is still strong in my mind.  So, he is  
HAS to keep his cover. 
As previously mentioned, Snape is very intelligent.  He knows how to 
manipulate people too. ...and he knows occumelency... 

However, my question is, was Snape ever in the "closest circle" of 
Voldemorts? I can't recall. Because, if he wasn't, he wouldn't have 
been listed among the "three."

Hmmm... now I have to mull this all over again! *sigh*
