  Dark Art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dark Arts, in the Harry Potter series, are magical spells and practices designed for evil purposes.
Most Dark wizards are Pure-Blooded, or at least prejudiced against those who are not, but since all Dark wizards encountered in the books are Death Eaters this may be an attitude particular to Voldemort's followers.
The Dark Arts are implicitly illegal, but prevalent enough in society that even before the rise of Lord Voldemort many schools (including Hogwarts) taught Defence Against the Dark Arts as a subject.

 Red Hen Publications - from you to PDF
Soo far as the question of Severus Snape, the Dark Arts, and the original lure of Voldemort's organization go, at this point, we are all expected to believe that Severus Snape was the very model of the typical non-“aristo” Death Eater recruit.
He would very likely have considered the study of the Dark Arts to be his entitlement, had placed all of his earliest hopes upon getting to Hogwarts and learning the Dark Arts, and ultimately arrived at Hogwarts to discover that this study was not officialy offered, and indeed discouraged as much as possible.
However, if routine concealment of the Dark Mark is the case, by the time most DEs were no longer in control of the concealment of their Mark they would typically have already been dead or injured, or insane, or in the hands of the Dementors, who, as Crouch Jr informed us are blind.

He discusses the topic of the dark arts and discusses how JKR is at her most inconsistent when referring to it.
While I think that Harry will not give in to the dark arts, I think he will still be faced with a temptation where he will have to decide to resist or give in, and I think it is all that "chosen one" stuff.
Overall, though, I agree that the danger of the Dark Arts is their seductive power, and what seems to be lacking from Harry and the gang's magical education is the proper set of tools to combat it.

The head-turning announcement, which is getting a lot of play in the blogosphere and press, comes from Bradley Schaefer of Louisiana State University.

The result is also strange on other grounds: for instance, the brightness discrepancy increases with distance even though cosmologists would expect it to decrease, given that dark matter had a weaker influence at the early times those distances represent.

After all, if they are to be believed in their boasts and representations, they themselves have broken the sacred traditions and they have perverted the sacred ceremonies of the ancestors.

He was picked at the end of his third year to join Disney and, in 1979, headed off to work on the saccharine The Fox and the Hound, and became "probably the most depressed I've ever been in my life.
A fucking nightmare." He became "a mess, a total mess", often spending the whole day hiding in a cupboard and the other half perfecting the art of sleeping sitting up at his desk, presumably looking somewhere between a tortured genius and a madman.
Incredibly, someone at Disney perceived the former and he was given money to make a stop-motion film of his story, Vincent, the tale of a disturbed little boy obsessed with Vincent Price and Edgar Allan Poe, as Burton himself had been.
