Why, specifically, are the Death Eaters so called?  Does this have 
something to do with Voldemort's unspeakable ventures he has done in 
his attempts to avoid death?  Do his followers, or perhaps only his 
inner circle, aspire to thwart death also? . . . by "eating" death?

Or is this just name to give V.'s followers, just something to call 
them?  Rowling usually has layers of reasons for names, you know.  
Interesting to ponder.
