I believe the one LV is referring to is Karkaroff on
whom we actually have canon is a DE.  (Refer to the
conversation he has with Snape at the end of one of
his classes (Sorry, not sure of what pages or chapter
in GOF)).  All this speculation is facinating but do
we have ANY canon whatsoever that James was a DE or
even intrigues by the dark arts. I have read several
arguments quoting canon that James "hated the dark
arts". Which was an actual quote made by Lupin to
Harry in OoP during the fireplace scene with Sirius
(Sorry, again no page numbers).

has been reading way to many posts...
