Okay, midnight here.
I think in Potterverse leaning to Dark Magic absolutely symbolises 
one's character, although I do wish that JKR would define clearer 
what dark magic is. DD is the Leader of Light, Voldemort is the 
leader of Dark. Voldemort does not get the ancient magic, the 
deepest magic of light, magic of love, no?

Hogwarts does not teach Dark Arts, only Defense against them. As Joe 
said, Ministry makes raids to collect Dark objects.

Snape IMO developed Sectusemptra countercurse when he was an adult, 
although just speculating here.

Well, we also know for a fact that one's memory could be changed and 
since Slugghorn did a bad job out of it, who says that Snape could 
not have done better job?

For the record, I don't think that Snape did it, since it meant to 
be glimpse in Marauders and Snape relationship. I think it was 
correct, but I am ready to bet that it was an incomplete glimpse.

Let me say it again, put the GoF train incident into pensieve from 
the moment Draco gets hexed and Draco would be innocent victim of 
big bad Gryffindors and it would be one again six....  Yeah, big bad 
bullies they are, no matter that Harry is recovering from horrible 
ordeal and the last thing anybody wants to hear is Draco threats and 
mockery of Voldemort's victim.

Just speculating here,
