Well, I'm just thinking that if I was sitting over a pint in the good 
old Leaky Cauldron and some guy comes up to me and says "Are you fed 
up with the way things are being run around here, because I'm forming 
a new group of like minded people and we're calling ourselves the 
"Death Eaters", I'd probably dismiss him as some kind of nutter.
My attitude might conceivably have been different had he suggested 
something like "The Movement for Magical Change" or "Wizards for an 
Alternative Power Structure"
