It is funny you should mention people being locked up without trial. Stan Shunpike was imprisoned because he flippantly remarked he was a Deatheater to impress girls and imprisoned without investigation...something similar to the Witch Trials when people were accused of being witches because of accusation without investigation.
   
Half of Hollywood was imprisoned in the 50's for suspected Communist activities or couldn't work for years because a Blacklist.
   
I wonder what the Wizarding Comuntiy was like or what the Wizard Schools across Europe were like before World War II?  What things were like at Beauxbatons during the invasion or if Hogwarts served as a shelter for awhile for Witches and Wizards affected in the Blitz.
   
It also makes me think if they had the power to stop it all, would they have?
