Wizard Photographs

I've been wondering this for some time - about the Wizard pictures - what 
happens when someone dies? Does their image stop moving? What is it that moves? 
- Gilroy Lockart's photographic image appeared to share his vanity, What else 
might they share? How is they linked? Are you spread to thin if you have 
multiple copies of the same picture made - what effect would it have on you? 
Would your image become sluggish (the more their were)

Some Aboriginal communities believed that photographs 'stole' the soul and 
either photos are forbidden or strongly regulated in those communities. What 
kind of laws (if any) would the wizarding community have around photo's. Can 
you imagine trying to grieve for someone who had recently died only to see 
their image moving around and acting like them? - very weird!

And is it only photo's that move - surely some of the people mentioned on the 
collecting cards must have died before the invention of the camera (and its 
subsequent adoption by the Wizard/Witch world). Same sort of process?

As always, more questions and no theories -
