Since we are not really certain of the extent of other wizarding 
schools, and we know Durmstrang taught the use of the Dark Arts, 
there could easliy be a place where a "further qualification" than 
the NEWTs could be received in Dark Arts. Maybe it was founded by the 
Dark wizard Grindewold(sp?) and is covered by protective wards. 
I've always wondered whether there wasn't some connection between 
Grindewold and Voldie. The chocolate frog card said Dumbledore 
defeated him, but he still could have been in hiding someplace, just 
as Voldie was. Maybe they spent time together in secret, somewhat 
like Peter was helping Voldemort- then after he'd learned from 
Grindewold, he could have turned on him and given him the final curse.
Who knows?  I haven't thought as much about the Dark stuff as I 
should.
