  Chris: In GoF (same edition as previously stated) during the 
hospital scene, Fudge is having a hard time believing LV is back. 
This is from p. 710 Snape speaking: "...This Mark has been growing 
clearer all year. Karkaroff's too. Why do you think Karkaroff fled 
tonight? We both felt the Mark burn. We both knew he had returned. 
Karkaroff fears the Dark Lord's vengeance. He betrayed too many of 
his fellow Death Eatersto be sure of a welcome back into the fold"

  Once LV touched the mark, Karkaroff fled into the forest and hasn't 
been seen since. This to me is the description of a coward, too 
scared to return. I think Karkaroff was LV's reference to a coward 
who will be punished.

  I don't think LV would fall for this excuse. "I'm at 
Hogwarts...gimme a sec and I'll be right there." Besides, I think the 
information LV has on the Death Eaters is what he has gleaned from 
speaking to Pettigrew, Bertha's memories, Crouch Jr., and Crouch Sr. 
LV does not see or speak to any DEs until they apparate into the 
graveyard. So obviously he learned of Snape and Karkaroff from one of 
these sources.
