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.

I wonder if that was also made clear in the movie DH 1, cannot remember it only that DE's search the Hogwarts Express.
What I liked in the movie DH 2 was the way they showed the depressing atmosphere of a morbid kind of militairy school by the marched of the students through the courtyard when the were summoned to the Great Hall.

nice clear and impressive image.... only where the heck did they came marching FROM.... the dorms are all inside Hogwarts.
