My knowledge of German is abysmally small, but I
seem to recall that "Sturm und drang" can be
translated very loosely as "a lot of pointless,
show-off shouting." That in mind, Durmstrang put
me in mind of a school that has more reputation
than it's really due. No substance, as it were.

Of course, that could change, and the curriculum
could be beefed up to where the school is,
indeed, a threat.
