In the GoF, Barty is described as a boy in his late teens.  Now is
this Harry's interpretation, or is it the actual age?  I know when I
was 19, I looked like I was about 14 (to my shame).  I was still
carded at the bar well into my mid-30's(to my glee).  So, it could be,
although I am just guessing here, that Barty is older than his late
teens in the scene.    

If Barty was not in Slytherin, that would be unusual - after all, the
only person who we know is a DE and is not in Slytherin is Wormtail. 
And it was a big deal in the books.  

Movie corruption here - Barty's licking of his lips is very
snake-like, which makes me think he was of Slytherin house.   But you
are correct, we don't know of any one who is of Snape's house and year
- which, as I stated before, leads me to believe they are all dead or
imprisoned.
