Walpurgis Part II

J. K. Rowling once mentioned in an interview that the original name for the Death Eaters was going to be the "Knights of Walpurgis". Frankly, I think "Knights of Walpurgis" sounds a lot less dorky than "Death Eaters", but I'm sure Ms. Rowling had her reasons. (Maybe she thought that Saint Walburga might object to the use of her name...?)
