You don't need to be at Voldy's elbow to aid him - witness Barty 
Crouch Jnr. You can aid the cause in all sorts of ways.

Voldy wants the Prophesy globe; how would an agent help there? By 
claiming sole guardian rights over Harry. By encouraging Harry's 
rashness. By influencing Harry against Snape's Occlumency. Or by 
being deliberately ambiguous (or by being deliberately *not* 
ambiguous) to Kreacher. Or by making sure that you'll be noticed by 
Malfoy while animaging about Kings Cross against the wishes of 
everybody with an ounce of sense. Passing a message? "Yes, I'm 
around; yes I'm close to Harry." Useful stuff for the Voldy clique.

Dungrollin:
But that didn't help Voldy to rise again, did it?  That was 
afterwards.  In order to make that bit of the prophecy apply to 
Sirius, you need to postulate how he could have been useful to Voldy 
before the end of GoF.  What did Voldy need to rise again?  The 
information from Bertha Jorkins about the TWT and the stuff behind 
the memory charm about Crouch The Younger being alive, some help 
from Wormtail and Nagini... What else could Sirius have done to 
qualify?
