Steve, 
that is an idea.  Any of the Deatheaters (egotistically, of course) are just as capable (ahem) as Dumbledore of teaching the boys and girls the fine arts of the Curses, etc.... poison potions, etc...  I think you get the idea.  They seem very proud.

  I agree that Lucius probably believes Voldy is more than a match for 
  Dumbly.  But Voldy is not stupid--he will want to put off an overt 
  fight with Dumbly until he can consolidate his power and allies.  So 
  I expect he'll do something like order his Death Eaters to lie low 
  and avoid a confontation with Dumbly.  And there's a good chance that 
  will mean staying away from home for anyone who has a kid in Hogwarts-
  -Dumbly will know where they live.  On the other hand, I wonder if 
  Lucius and the other Death EaterpParents might take their kids out of 
  Hogwarts entirely--perhaps to let Voldy take over their training?
