Whether a category belongs in a list is a very complicated matter. It can plainly belong, belong because of, belong but only after a changing event, or be there but not belong at all due to mistakes or misinterpretation. It can often be argued, but it must fit the category.

I don't know about Barricade, but Barty can be explained for he really did teach DADA, and trained Harry to resist the Imperium curse, which came in handy against Voldemort. I would say, he does not belong, but it bugs me little. Skroa, for instance did nothing but pretend being a friendly pet, imposed himself to the amnesiac Elysio, switched to the Legendaries and went away for long periods of time...
