Alcuin:

McGonagall can't be Voldemort's most faithful servant, for one simple 
reason: McGonagall is a woman, whereas Voldemort refers to his most 
faithful servant as 'he'.  We read on pp. 651-652 of GoF (American 
ed. paperback):

... and one, who remains my most faithful servant, and who has 
already reentered my service ... He is at Hogwarts, that faithful 
servant, and it was through his efforts that our young friend arrived 
here tonight ...

So unless Voldemort forgot what gender his most faithful servant is, 
it can't be McGonagall.  For what it's worth, I think it can be none 
other than Barty Crouch Jr.  It was, after all, through his efforts 
that Harry arrived at the graveyard, as he himself explained (cf. 
GoF, p. 676).
