some thoughts about ghosts (from main list)

Amy 
now wondering if she were less happy, could she become a ghost and go 
to Hogwarts after her death

Ah, but Amy - becoming a ghost and going to Hogwarts - it would make 
you so happy that you'd probably get to spend only a few minutes 
before you'd cease being a ghost.  Then perhaps you'd be unhappy 
again, *re-ghostify*, appear at hogwarts, be happy, *re-un-ghostify*, 
et cetera, et cetera, ad infinitum, ad astra, (and however the "Zero, 
My Hero" song from Schoolhouse Rocks continues)... I'm thinking that 
would just be too much torture.

Perhaps that's hell?

freak her out after a while)
