The Durmstrang thing has always mystified me too. Everything we're told about them seems either germanic or slavic, so why would the school be in northern Scandinavia? The names, the uniforms, the accent that the students speak in... There's nothing remotely scandinavian about any of that. I'd be tempted to say that jkr just doesn't know what she's talkning about, except that would not be like her at all.
