> Someone had berated me for joking that Snape might one day return 
as headmaster, because he was a DE and a child abuser. But, Karkarof 
was also a DE and became head of Durmstrang. He was a known DE, yet 
Dumbledore even treated him as a gracious guest during the TWT.
> I would guess that Snape and Karkarof met while in service to the 
Dark Lord. A fine, outstanding citizen, that Karkarof.

Alla:

Raises her hand. Since I most definitely shudder in horror for poor 
children, especially those who may have the misfortune to have 
parents whose Snape hated at some point at their life, when I imagine 
Snape as Headmaster, and said so in response to your joking idea, I 
just wish to say that disagreeing with the idea, hoping that the idea 
does not come true does not mean berating *you* for it.

And why should this necessarily be a joke? If you want Snape to be a 
Headmaster, it is your right to wish for it it (and several people 
did in non joking way), just as it is my right to hope that this wil 
never come true and that Snape will pay for all he did to the 
characters I like. 

Karkarof, hmmm. Yes, Dumbledore totally treats him courteously, but 
despite all the talk about magical cooperation,etc, I did not get an 
impression that Durmstrang as school is being treated very 
courteously. IMO of course, but I think Krum is portrayed as 
exception, nice guy and all that. I can be wrong, but Durmstrang is a 
school that teaches Dark Arts, the school where Lucius wanted to send 
his kid, etc.

Nope, I think that former DE as Headmaster does not reflect this 
school in good light. Does not mean that all kids there are bad of 
course, but again in my opinion.

Alla.
