The foreshadowing of Crouch Jr. turning his father into a bone.
It never occurred to me before, but it was really interesting how Barty Crouch, Jr. transfigured his dead father into a bone, of all things, when later on that's the first ingredient that Voldemort used for his potion to come back to life:
"Bone of the father, unknowingly given, you will renew your son..."
Bart Jr. must have known a decent amount of what Voldemort and Wormtail's ritual plan was, since his entire mission was to facilitate it. And the underlying concept of "Death Eaters" as a title was to become immortal, by some means or another, after all.
Does anyone else think Barty Crouch, Jr. was quietly preparing to follow in Voldemort's exact footsteps had he survived the final night?
