Because the way the books are going, it really seems that LV's demise is
the direction the series is going to take (the question now is 'How?').
But you're right, there are many ways to do away with LV without having to
kill him.  Besides, I don't think he can be killed anyway, not in the usual
sense, at least.

Maybe the MoM just 'overreacted', so to speak.  Black did kill 13 people
with a certain curse.  

Black wasn't given a trial.  He tells Harry so in GoF when thwey meet in
the mountains near Hogsmeade.  Barty Crouch Sr saw to that.

And as far as I know, there are no references indicating that Black might
have been an Auror.  But he most probably is a member of the 'old crowd'
(Order of the Pheonix), as there is reference to this in GoB.

This is a stretch, but remember the pensieve chapter?  The last trial, the
one with Barty Jr?  There was a female in that group (Mrs. Lestrange?) who
spoke out as they were being led away.  Does that count?  I personally
don't think so, but that's all I know...

I'm inclined to think that was merely a literary device JK Rowling was
using to define 'good' and 'bad', and nothing more.  Still, in HP, we never
know.

We DO know at least one Ravenclaw: Cho Chang.  Two, if you count the
so-dashingly named Roger Davies.  But you have a point; I want to see more
Ravenclaws!
