So far I have discovered only four: Varric, Bethany, Aveline and Merril. Are there any more?

There are more than the ones you found yet, but I'm not far enough to give you a complete list. – Mad Scientist Mar 10 '11 at 6:55

4@everyone: It would be nice if you kept the answers spoiler-free. Thank you. – DrFish Mar 10 '11 at 6:59

There are 10: 6 mandatory, 2 optional, and 2 via DLC/Signature Edition.
Mandatory
These companions you get along the way of the main quest line:
Bethany and Carver: acquired at the start of the game
Aveline: acquired during the Prologue
Varric: acquired at the start of Act I
Anders: In Act I, after Tranquility quest
Merrill: In Act I, after Long Way Home quest
Optional
These companions require you doing something extra to secure them:
Isabela: Complete Fools Rush In quest
Fenris: Complete A Bitter Pill quest
DLC/Signature Edition
You get these through DLC (or the Signature Edition, which includes some DLC):
Sebastian: Acquired through The Exiled Prince DLC
Mabari Warhound: Acquired through The Black Emporium DLC. Acts as a fifth party member like Ranger pets did in Dragon Age Origins, not a full-fledged companion.

@David you're right: one of the allies I had under optional should be under DLC. Fixed. – user3389 Mar 11 '11 at 17:11

To meet Fenris you must do the "bait and switch" quest – user12131 Sep 1 '11 at 15:16
