Pippin:
We hear about it from Hagrid. "People who was on his side came back
ter ours. Some of 'em came outta kinda trances. Don' reckon they
could've done if he was comin' back." Later canon makes it clear that
Hagrid doesn't believe Lucius was entranced, so he must be talking
about other people. 

Fake!Moody also says that the Ministry had a lot of problems with the
Imperius during the first war, and Sirius says in OOP that Voldemort
tricks, jinxes and blackmails people into joining him. 

I'm pretty sure Lupin's math is meant to include everyone who was
helping Voldemort against the Order, willingly or not. The marked DE's
were only a small fraction of Voldemort's forces, IMO.
