Rebecca:
 
And there's the issue of them all appearing in masks, which further  blocks 
their identities. What's interesting about all that is that there's no  
attempt made to hide them from another when Voldemort rose the second time. In  
that opening scene in Malfoy Manor, they're all just sitting openly around 
a  table, no one hidden at all. I wonder if this is reflective of 
Voldemort's  higher level of power (he certainly got power a lot faster the second 
time  around), or if all the secrecy before was a narrative device to explain 
why so  many DEs got away.
