And in the case of some of those children (Theo Nott comes to mind, 
sorry, Potioncat), Flooing home would be pointless. Papa Nott is in 
the Forest, one presumes, and Mama Nott is long dead.

zgirnius:
No, he thinks that *some* of them are. (At least one, Theo Nott, is 
known to be by us as well). "There are kids of Death Eaters you've 
just sent to safety" means there are some kids who are kids of Death 
Eaters, not that all the kids are. He also does not suggest all the 
Slytherins shiyld have been held hostage, just 'a few'. (Presumably, 
the few who are kids of Death Eaters, since why anyone in the DE camp 
would care about the others is not clear to me).
