Pippin:
We know they can detect specific spells. A discrepancy between the
number of AK's detected and the number of bodies would certainly 
give rise to immediate speculation.

Pippin:
Indeed we learn that the DE's had their own version of why Harry
survived in HBP. But McGonagall said that she'd heard all sorts of
rumors about what happened. That was why she was so anxious to 
track down Dumbledore, to find out what was true. 

We also don't know how many DE's Voldemort had in the area.
He likes to act alone, but he also likes to have witnesses to his
triumphs.
