If that was the name of a JKR publishing house in an English speaking
country, I wouldn't believe them saying that some book they published
wasn't Satanic...

That describes Lucius Malfoy and perhaps Nott Sr who spoke in such a
manipulative voice, but isn't it more likely that the reason Crabbe Sr
and Goyle Sr joined the Death Eaters is because Lucius told them to, and
that what they enjoy about it is not power, but simply the opportunity
to hurt/kill people?

Mrs  Lestrange, Crouch Jr, and perhaps others in Azkaban or who died
resisting arrest are passionately loyal to Voldemort, perhaps because
they expect him to give them something 'better' than power (perhaps
immortality for themselves).

Probably some people joined the Death Eaters out of sincere
anti-Mudblood feelings.

Me, too.

I want that to be true, but I seem to recall there being one chat in
which JKR strongly hinted that Mrs. Figg is the person who will get
magic late in life, and one chat where she said Arabella Figg is the
(daughter? niece?) of Mrs. Figg.
