> In DH in the chapter (can't remember the number or title) when Harry, Hermione and Ron are hiding in 12 Grimauld Place after escaping from the wedding to London, Lupin comes over and informs them that the Ministry changed the law. According to the new one every little witch and wizard are now OBLIGED to be sent to Hogwarts and they parents have to comply. Not the whole wizarding world knows it has to do with Voldemort. I don't know how many of them know that DE are running Hogwarts or that Snape - one of old teachers anyway and new Headmaster - is (appears to be) a DE.

Geoff:
The quote you want is:

'"...What's Voldemort planning for Hogwarts?" she (Hermione) asked Lupin.

"Attendance is now compulsory for every young witch and wizard," he replied. 
"That was announced yesterday. It's a change, because it was never obligatory 
before. Of course, nearly every witch and wizard in Britain has been educated 
at Hogwarts but their parents had the right to teach them at home or send 
them if they preferred. This way, Voldemort will have the whole wizarding 
population under his eye from a young age..."'
