Point: Neither I, nor anyone I know, is of the stripe to be one of
Voldemort's Own. But if the man I swore to follow, that I believed could
kick the world's collective butt singlehandedly, who could also fry me
to a cinder on a whim and I knew it, said "you're a Death Eater" I'd
say, "Yes, sir, thank you, sir!"

Explain, then, please, the Dark Mark. It's apparently permanent, and I
got the impression it only faded because Voldemort almost died.

Hitler, bad as he was, was not capable of some of the more disgusting
curses we've heard about. He named his party when he still needed people
to get established; I get the impression that Voldemort was much more of
a one-man show. Kind of like Hitler wanted to be.
