Carol adds:
And he knew about Snape's Dark Mark as well, as indicated by his snide
remark that "some stains never wear off," which causes Snape to grab
his arm convulsively until he realizes what he's doing and lets go.
Barty knew about the Dark Mark, all right, and based on his knowledge
of its workings, probably had one himself. He also knew how to cast a
Crucio and an Imperio and how to AK his father, curses he could only
have learned before he was sent to Azkaban and then kept prisoner by
his father. Nineteen or not, he was in the company of LV's most
faithful Death Eaters when they Crucio'd the Longbottoms, and based on
his actions in DADA class when he prolongs the torture of the spider,
oblivious to its effects on Neville even though he knows exactly who
Neville is, I'd say he was as guilty as Bellatrix and just as
fanatical, and that he did have a place in the inner circle of the
Death Eaters. The only reason why the other DEs didn't know that he
was the loyal DE at Hogwarts is that they thought he had died in Azkaban.
