We're forgetting about Lucius Malfoy, who is quite wealthy and 
influential, and was, for a while, on the board of governors for the 
school.  Presumably other Death Eaters named in GoF were also in 
Slytherin, and they probably have respectable jobs that mask their 
dark activities.  (MacNair is an example.)  It would be enlightening 
to know what house Barty Crouch, Jr. was from (I put him in Ravenclaw 
in my fic).  

Also, does anyone have an opinion about what house Fudge would have 
been in?  Not brave enough for Gryffindor, IMO (unless he's another 
Pettigrew-style Gryffindor), not sharp enough for Ravenclaw, not 
loyal enough or hard-working enough for Hufflepuff...yet a Slytherin 
becoming MoM seems unlikely too (unless people were willing to take 
anyone after Barty Crouch, Sr. was discredited--which it turns out, 
he shouldn't have been). Any thoughts?
