Goddlefrood:

I have followed with interest and not a little scepticism the view 
that Scrimgeour is a Death Eater. It is my view that he is not, but 
we really probably do not have enough evidence to go on, and it may 
be just possible that he is, or possibly a sympathiser without 
actually being in the inner circle.

This support quoted above, however, is almost certainly not in favour 
due to Harry having seen Scrimgeour up close and personal prior to 
the Astronomy Tower incidents. I am thinking particulalry of his 
visit to The Burrow. The fourth Death Eater (who is, form 
recollection only ever described as brutal-faced) while not named in 
the book is more likely to be Yaxley or an as yet minor character. 
Yaxley is put forward because he was one of those mentioned by Snape 
at Spinner's End together with the Carrows (unconfirmed, but probably 
Alecto and Amycus).

Just my two penn'orth
