Potioncat:
And I wonder how that will affect the teachers, particularly Snape?  
The closest I can relate to this, although there may be more recent 
examples, is of the U.S. military academies (was there more than 
one?) in the 1860's when the South left the Union and Officers and 
academy students resigned and went back home to fight for the 
Confederacy.

But I have to say, so far in these books, LV's followers have seemed 
more like a crime ring than an army.
