The dancing skeletons were rumored to be booked for the Halloween 
feast which Harry, Ron, and Hermione missed to go to Nearly 
Headless Nick's deathday party (CoS). Since the trio missed the 
party, we don't know if the skeletons were there or not. It would be 
interesting to know if said skeletons are bodily remains, or a race 
of creatures onto themselves. 

Another use for wizard body parts could be as relics, especially 
those of wizards who could be considered martyrs. It would be fairly 
morbid if some of the more powerful enchanted objects contained the 
toe of some poor victim.
