covering Karkaroff's clemency hearing (I can't think what else to 
call it), out of 200 spectators/jurors, surely some would babble.<

Simple.

Voldemort (on hearing of Dumbledore's comments at the trial): 
"Inviegling Dumbledore into declaring Snape's innocence in front of 200 peopl!  The fiendish cleverness of my spy Snape!  Now *no-one* will suspect he's still a Death-Eater working for me against the Good Side..." (evil cackling)

Rita:
> Why would a Death Eater marry a Mudblood? Like a Klansman marrying a 
(black person) or a Nazi marrying a (Jew).<

Well, several possibilities.  He could have married her before he became a Death-Eater.  She could have concealed her origins from him. She might have been so Dead Sexy that Mr Norris wanted to marry her anyway, and then took out his prejudices on her later (happens often enough in real-life cross-cultural marriages).  Otherwise, surely an obvious possibility is that it's a cover-up!  If you were a secret Death Eater working in the Ministry of Magic, you'd know full well that a great way to conceal it would be marrying a Mudblood!

After all, why would a Death Eater marry a Mudblood, eh?

Tabouli.
