Yeah, he definitely wouldn't take the Marauders (or the Death Eater recruits in the same year) lying down. I think he'd be quite surprised at just how different his upbringing made him from James, though. He went through all of Hogwarts being told that he's 'just like James' only...he's really not.
It might be that they're scholarship or bursary students. Snape and Riddle would definitely have been able to qualify for scholarships (you generally have to be brilliant), and the Weasleys might have been able to apply for bursaries for their younger children. (I was on a bursary for my school, which was granted because a)we had a low family income, b) my grades were above average, and c) my older brother was also in private educaton. If Hogwarts has a similar set up, then the younger Weasley children should have been able to attend for a lower fee.)
There is also evidence that magical persons don't always go to Hogwarts - Lupin and Hagrid are both seen as exceptions, and there's whole lists of different beings out there who all deserve an education. There's also the Gaunts - pureblood (frighteningly inbred) witches and wizards who almost certainly (in Merope's case) didn't go, even though they were magical. Maybe some are home schooled, or sent to school abroad, or maybe there are other, smaller schools dotted around the country. Actually, the location of Hogwarts makes no sense at all if you look at the history of the British Isles as a whole, but that's another rant entirely.
Especially since I not-so-secretly ship Regulus/Barty... Though actually including the pairing would be awkward as hell under the circumstances, so maybe just feels? I think it would get to the point where people would be giving Sirius the side-eye as well and wondering if 'Harry' was the result of an affair. *sniggers* So that's my big idea for Regulus-fic, if you think I should go for it.
The epilogue felt very pasted on. It completely changed the tone of the end of the book and...guh. No. Just no.
I actually kind of like the idea of 'Master of Death', but I wish more had been done with it. As a potential horror or fantasy trope it's very promising, and it makes me wonder what the Peverell brother must have got up to. (I subscribe to the theory that The Tales of Beedle the Bard were very much watered down and that the truth was likely very different.) Still, not much was done, and the whole thing fell kind-of flat in the end. Like it served its purpose as a way to get Harry to live through fighting Voldemort and nothing beyond that. You?
