possibility to renew the soul-less Crouch with the same potion he 
used to renew his body? Any Ideas?
"I do believe we will see crouch jr. again."

--Hmmm...I don't think that's likely at all. It's a good point, but 
Crouch's body doesn't need restoration does it? The body itself is 
perfectly healthy and fine, except for the fact that it lacks a soul. 
(The idea is really disturbing. *shudders*) 

Which leads me to a question about Dementor-kissed bodies. What 
happens to them? I'd imagine that they go to St. Mungo's where they 
are cared for and fed until they die. It doesn't sound like a 
reversible condition so I'd think that once you're gone you're gone. 
However I don't doubt that Harry will meet Crouch Jr. again. Maybe 
he'll encounter his body in an infirmary of St. Mungo's if he ever 
ventures there.
