I assume Harry is going to be British, and so Draco has to be on the other side, which makes him German.
What Jo did was to take elements, side step so you were't directly quoting them and go, this is like enough to make my point and not like enough to be disprespectful.
And I suspect that's why people don't take the side step back to directly quote SS uniforms. Because it makes them uncomfortable. Not because it makes Draco look bad, but because it's people's families. And if you don't make him SS it'll be that you're downplaying the seriousness of deatheatering, and then people will get all arguing about whether ordinary Germans knew etc.
And before you know it, Metafandom is posting updates three times a day, fandom wank melts down under the strain, and the internets are all broked.
So people stick to the snakey and mask theme with the black robes because it's not exactly hard on the eyes.
