GEO: Except we all know that Sirius wasn't the servant of the Dark 
Lord and he had already broken free from Azkaban the previous year 
so 
he really isn't the servant mentioned in the prophecy.

GEO: And Crouch was still imprisoned in his father's house during
that time so it can't be him since he didn't break free until the
Quidditch Cup Game later in the summer and Snape of course was one 
of the missing Death Eaters who either had left Voldemort forever or 
was too cowardly not to mention the fact that Snape didn't set out 
and return to Voldemort that night.
