-----------------

I'd discount necromancy in the HP world. JKR (now married, so by that 
strange English custom, should change her surname, but probably won't) 
has stated that there is a major limit to magic: it cannot bring people 
back from the dead. Necromancy is, basicly, raising the dead (toghether 
with a few other categories, depending on who you read, like dead 
spirit interrogation), so I assume that that discipline in 
non-existant. The only thing I can imagine that has some connection is 
theory of ghost: why wizards and witches become ghosts.
