Tonks, I think that is a fun idea. I wouldn't be surprised if
Scrimgeour is closely connected to DEs whether he is marked or not.
HBP Ch 1 makes it very clear that Voldemort was killing muggles
because Fudge refused to step aside. That stopped when Rufus moved
into his place.

That if nothing else, is very suggestive that Voldemort is quite
satisfied with Rufus.

But I am curious about Rufus's interest in the prophecy. Was he
gathering information for himself or does he see Harry as a potential
exit ramp for Voldemort? I think a number of DEs liked life better
when Voldemort was gone.
