Well, if that was it he'd have to die to save mankind.  But then he'd have
to be raised again three days later.  So he would become immortal so to
speak.  I'd never read that quote, I don't know how JKR could write it that
way and make it believable, but who knows.

Well if that's the case, I wonder if Snape will look at Draco in a different
light?  If he thought Lucius was on his side then suddenly finds out he
betrayed him or something, it would make me feel different!  I'd never
really made much attention to the sudden movement.  I really need to reread
GoF!
