"With neither equipment nor manpower being important limitations on a Wixen's power, the British Ministry of Magic and other important magical leaders have been waging a long-term war on the only mechanism of violence they can control; a magical's training. The most successful of these initiatives has been the demonizing of nearly all forms of combative magic by labeling them as "The Dark Arts'. This has ultimately created a long-term cultural divide in Wizarding Britain, with those who follow the law and only look into non-combative magic being given the positive label of "Light Wizard', and those who practice dangerous or potentially dangerous magic being given the negative label of "Dark Wizards'. These days, pretty much anyone who knows how to fight is treated with suspicion and hostility by the majority of Wizarding Britain, unless they’re a bootlicker or a noble, which neatly explains how Voldemort and about a hundred followers managed to nearly conquer the nation."
