I'm not sure if this polyjuice potion thing could work.
After all, one needs something (ie hair) from the person in order for the
polyjuice potion to work. I agree that that sending Snape as Barty jr.
would probably be the best cover, but can you make polyjuice potion from a
dead person?

GoF chapter 36 "Harry felt a chill in his stomach as Professor McGonagall
struggled to find words to describe what had happened. He did not need her
to finish her sentence. He knew what the dementor must have done. It had
administered its fatal kiss to Barty Crouch. It had sucked his soul out
through his mouth. He was worse than dead."
******* "worse than dead" ... but *not* dead.
Also, I just noticed ... "He knew what the dementor *must have done*
Hmmmmmm ... *must have done* .... but not definitely done.... Is this
another JKR mind trap? Have we all just assumed on the basis of Harry
thinking that it *must have done* ???
Is there any reference that states *exactly* what happened to Barty Crouch
Jr.? Is there any reference to what happened to his soul-less body *if* the
dementor, indeed, did suck out his soul? In other mentions of the dementors,
JKR has them dragging the body happily off to Azkaban. I am still looking
for what happened to Crouch's body ... perhaps I shall find it and answer my
own question ... perhaps not.
