[HPforGrownups] The Death Eater name was Voldemorts Sphere of Influence

Death Eaters -- perhaps Voldemort retains the loyalty of his supporters by
promising them that one day they, too, will be immortal like him (they will
"eat" death).  They'd sell their souls for eternal life and power over
weaker beings...

Not particularly. "Dark LEague" sounds so "Golden Age"-y.

Death Eaters gives me a minds image of a bunch of black wolves, eyes
luminescent in the dark hunting for their next kill.
