Death Eaters. How stupid can you be? Sure you want Purebloods to reign supreme over all other magicals, but you do this by following a Half-blood. Who's no better than the Mudbloods you want to exterminate since he grew up in a Muggle orphanage. Where does this make sense?
Let's take a look at his history. Born to a mother who was almost a squib and a Muggle father doused with love potions. His father didn't love her, and so when mommy dearest stopped giving him love potions he left. He grew up in an orphanage where it was no secret he was unwanted. By the time he got to Hogwarts he had delusions of grandeur and that he was the greatest being to ever walk the earth. But daddy still didn't want him.
So, essentially, the big boss of the Death Eaters who wanted to exterminate those of lesser blood when he is of lesser blood ... and all because he has daddy issues.
You would think that Death Eaters would choose their leaders more carefully... especially when he goes psycho over wanting to kill a baby and pausing all his other goals. That is the time to cut and run if you were stupid enough to follow him in the first place.
I swear none of them knew how to use their brains. If they did, the Wizarding World might have been in more trouble than they were. They might have also been able to actually succeed in their goals.
If they were competent, the goals they created would have required a leader that isn't pathetic enough to die at a 17-year-old's hands.
And how the hell did they even come up with the name Death Eaters?? At least the original Knights of Walpurgis sounds a lot better than Death Eaters! I mean, what is that even supposed to mean? They eat death?
Maybe one day they will figure out how to start a rebellion that will work. I mean they had the numbers to succeed last time if not the brains.
I won't hold my breath for that day.
