What does that heavily imply?  Nothing?  A coincidence?
No, that implies that these young men and women, who would be
entering their 6th or 7th year at Hogwarts came under the influence 
of Lord Voldemort.
Now, who at Hogwarts has influence over these kids?  A Teacher.
What teacher would have the freedom to teach the students about the 
Dark Arts?  The Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher.
<<snip>> ...But what students?  All the students?  Or only those that 
Voldemort could trust not to tell Dumbledore.
Could he then trust the likes of Lucius Malfoy?  Crabbe?  Goyle?
Yes.

Inge:
Love the idea of Voldemort teaching DADA at Hogwarts (but wouldn't 
Dumbledore know who he was? Did it matter? Would Dumbledore have 
known then what went on in the DADA-classes?)

As for the years 1976-79... assuming James, Sirius etc. were born in 
1960 (or close to that) they'd all be in their 6th - 7th year (as you 
said). No problem with that.
But Lucius. He's older. How much older? 2-4 years? If so - he would 
not have been at Hogwarts by 1976 and wouldn't have been under the 
influence of Voldemort's teaching DADA ..... 
Other than *that* - cool theory!
