Tonks here:

Briliant!!  I think you are right. So Bagman is the faithful one. LV 
may not have know about Crouch Jr.. or Bagman knew and he had an 
Imperius Curse on Crouch Jr. so it looked like Crouch Jr. was the  
one doing everything. Snape is the one that has left forever. But LV 
is just saying that as a cover, because Snape is a double agent.. so 
LV thinks Snape is still on his side and spying on DD. But Snape is 
working for DD and spying on LV. Malfoy believes that Snape is 
working for LV and therefore is still friends with him, but other 
DE's don't know because maybe LV has told Snape to keeping an eye on 
them too???  Oh, I have a headache now...
