  From the point of view of the muggle, he was effectively
dead. After all, to disembody the greatest dark wizard of
the century - isn't it a really heroic deed for a muggle?

  But I was not talking about Voldie specifically - I was
just exploring Potterverse from purely technical point of
view (by my standard method of asking "what if" questions).
And anyway Voldemort is an exception - he's gone too far on
the road to immortality, so to say. That's not so with all
other wizards in the world.

  Interesting, that my post hit almost simultaneously with
some other thread with "Is Lucius afraid of muggles?" topic.

P.S. Why doesn't anybody bother to teach HP some martial
arts (of whatever origin)? He would become a real fighting
machine - even without special physical training and with a
hurt leg he managed to escape from Voldemort and a damn lot
of Death Eaters. Imagine what could he do when trained
properly... Poor, poor Voldemort... :)
  Writing that, I have stumbled at an idea: "But then, who
would be the best DADA teacher but a retired army fighting
instructor? Muggle, of course? Imagine Snape face..." 8-P
