Pippin:
I think they symbolize extremism, regardless of platform. The
werewolves are seeking additional rights, the pureblood faction
wishes to restore rights it once had and restrict the rights of
others, Voldemort panders to both while his private agenda 
does not include sharing power with anyone.  But they are all 
united under the Dark Mark, in other words, by  their acceptance 
of violence as a means to  political ends.
