Makes me think that HM Snape assigned Heads of House to patrol the halls at night to catch wayfaring students. If they caught any they would of course report them to the Carrows. Big if, you know?

Carol notes:
I think he was counting on all the long-time teachers, not just the Heads of Houses, to thwart the Carrows as they did Umbridge. And simply by retaining those teachers instead of hiring new ones, he kept the curriculum as normal as possible except fot the courses that the Carrows were teaching. If he'd been a loyal DE, or if someone like Yaxley had become headmaster, life at Hogwarts would have been much worse.
