1. "All Slytherins are evil". The only Death Eater identified as a non-Slytherin is Pettigrew. All the rest are Slytherins (Lucius Malfoy) or probably Slytherins (Nott, Crabbe, Goyle, etc.). There are some good Slytherins, but they mostly seem to be pretty nasty personally - Snape, Draco Malfoy (he did help Harry by pretending not to know him in the Manor, after all) and Regulus Black. Why not have a few Slytherin students defect? Or Gryffindor/Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw students join the Death Eaters?
2. Ginny Weasley was possessed by Voldemort. Ginny Weasley became a popular, well-adjusted student. How about Dark!Ginny? Ginny joining the Death Eaters? Ginny finding the diadem on an adventure into the ROR and being possessed again? Ginny having, at the very least, some kind of moral struggle in the years after her possession? But no. :(
