Carol, Steve and Pippin all responded with some very good explanation 
as to why DD could have reasoned it was Barty Jr. during Harry's fourth 
year, and also recounted additional ways the reader was clued into this 
developing plot.

It's got me thinking this week, though, about the possibility that DD 
knew Barty Jr. was alive long before GoF.  How or why he would have 
known this is impossible to say.  I keep coming back to this one 
speculation however, so what the heck.  I'll be brief:

1) DD doesn't approve of the Dementors at Azkaban.
2) He is probably not the only one who feels this way.
3) What if Crouch's mode of escaping the Dementors was not a unique 
incident but one of many (?) organized by wizards opposed to conditions 
within Azkaban.  A sort of underground railroad.  Progressive, powerful 
DD would have been consulted or may even be an organizer.

There are all sorts of logical problems with this - like what to do 
with the escapees, where to get the dying subs, and why elvis and the 
other former inmates are not spotted more often.  Just a wacky thought.
