Could Durmstrang be sort of a mirror image of Hogwarts, i.e. one good house
(that Viktor is in) and three evil ones?  Or maybe if one had the "Matter 
Triplicator"
from _Red Dwarf_ and triplicated Hogwarts, you'd get Beauxbatons and 
Durmstrang --
Beauxbatons would be "High Hogwarts": Immaculate, angelic, high-minded, 
perhaps
a bit straight-laced; and Durmstrang would be "Low Hogwarts": Dark, 
corrupt, grimy,
in short, a Death Eater's Paradise.  Of course, I'm just wildly speculating 
here...
