Interesting that both political leaders and doctors were killed early on - I wonder what other groups were eliminated. Educated Muggles of all stripes seems unlikely, as Hermione's parents are still around despite their advanced training as dentists. And what here is the distinction between doctors and dentists? Were doctors, with their advanced knowledge of the human body, suspected of being the instigators of magic theft?
One wonders what became of Muggle University professors, particularly scientists and historians (who seem likely to pose problems in the camps because of their specialized knowledge), and of Muggle military members, especially officers.
Are Voldemort and the DEs sufficiently knowledgeable about Muggles to make strategic decisions about which categories of persons to eliminate? Or were/are they guessing at which groups are most dangerous?
