wound in less than a week, including regrowing whole arm bones. If 
that kind of medical magic is out there, why are there people with 
broken noses and scarred faces (Moody)?

Perhaps Dumbledore likes it that way (ditto for Mad-Eye.)  Dumbledore 
actually says in PS/SS 1 that scars aren't something you want to get 
rid of.  One would also think that magic could cure near-sightedness 
yet there's lots of characters who still wear glasses...

I don't think Ron will pick up, but my 2 knuts go for something like 
in the movie Dragonheart, where for one of them to die they both do.  
(For those not in the know, the movie was about a prince who shared a 
heart with a dragon, and in order to kill the evil prince the noble 
dragon had to be sacrificed.)
