All the evidence points to the Death Eaters not putting security spells on Hogwarts.
Those facts being
1) The movie never mentioned the Death Eaters placing security spells on Hogwarts,
2) Harry and friends snuck into Hogwarts without any "security spells" going off
3) No mention was made that they by-passed any such spells.

1) Absence of proof is not proof of absence. And again your powers of observation continue to fail you. As i stated hogshead was protected with an alarm spell. Which shows the presence of mind that you seem to think the DEs lack.
2) Since Harry and friends entered hogwarts through a magical passageway that only exists when the room of requirement wants it to, why would it set of defensive spells? Your arguments are repetitive and lame, in the truest sense of the word. No legs to stand on there derp.
3) All you're ding is making the same argument with different wording. No need to put a three here. See answer number 1.

Ok so far I tallied:
Avenger tactical advantage:
-range
-Aoe
-versatility (for Thor and IM)
-initiative
-accuracy
-individual rate of fire (IM and BW)
-mobility for just IM and Thor
-suprise/stealth
-teamwork/leadership
-more varied combat experience
-more effective weaponry
-far more effective in melee
Death Eaters
-numbers (30-to-6)
-possible one hit kill or one hit stun (can miss, needs to be spoken to cast)
-overall mobility (all DEs can fly)
-possible multiple angles of attack
-can turn semi-intangible
What else am I missing?

I believe versatility should go with the Death Eaters since they have far more options of different spells than the Avengers have of different attacks.
DE should also get advantage for the environment since they're at their home turf and are already holed in.

Depends really. By the end of Deathly Hallows this enchantment seems to be gone as many of Voldemort's followers apperate away when Harry is revealed to still be alive.

It's clear this thread of "100+ to 6" was made out of spite since the Avengers are forced to now enter and try to clear the castle when Thor and Iron Man could level it to ash and rubble.
lol, good point.
Snape is a Death Eater. His reactions to an attack from Harry Potter, while his back was turned, was faster than any Jedi or Sith reaction. Apparently, Snape was a really good duelist...among the very best. So I am not going to pretend like the Death Eaters are as good as Snape. But...Voldemort is better than Snape.
Be literal and objective: Voldemort Solos the avengers. This thread ended before the OP started the thread. Thread should have never been created. The thread starter knew the Avenger Bandwagon would create a lengthy debate thread and all of you fell for it.

Rowling contradicts herself, here. She says a gun could take down a wizard quite easily, yet....the entire premise is built upon this idea of Voldy's that the wizards should be ruling the world because they are more powerful.
So you tell me which truth to subscribe to.
But, yes, simple shield spell is enough to separate two fighting boys...said force to separate those two is much much greater than the force a "falling" bullet provides.

No, she doesn't. You assume a straight fight, while wizards have a ton of other options at their disposal to take over fairly easily. It would be fairly simple for even a single Death Eater to mindcontrol every government leader on the planet from the shadows.
When did it do that? Also, lol at the suggestion that separating two boys means it can block a bullet.
