Line 263:

* What's the point in training to become an Auror? The ones we saw seemed no more competent at defeating Death Eaters than normal Hogwarts students.

** The six people who went to the Ministry are hardly 'normal Hogwarts students' and Aurors are more competent than them, if only by virtue of knowing more magic. Aurors also don't exist solely for the purpose of catching Death Eaters or else there would be no Aurors when the books start. Asking why bother having Aurors if there are stronger Death Eaters is like asking why bother having police if a criminal could still shoot them.

** Also, the Ministry Six actually being able to fight Death Eaters is an artifact of the film version. In the book version the kids got their asses kicked by Bellatrix and her squad with the Death Eaters hardly breaking a sweat in the process, and were saved only by the arrival of the Order of the Phoenix.

* And what kind of people call themselves "Dark" without irony? Light makes sence because anyone could call themselves that? Humanity's worst monsters typically either think they're saving the world or don't care what anyone calls them.

** Maybe an outbreak of [[Then Let Me Be Evil]]. Maybe they tried to give themselves a badass-sounding intimidating name and failed. Maybe they were given the moniker by a newspaper and it stuck.
