Perhaps JKR will reveal that Guy Fawkes was a wizard, and so burning 
him in effigy would be the last thing the wizarding world would be 
inclined to do.  (And he only made the Muggles think he'd been 
killed, but really escaped just as handily as those witches and 
wizards who pretended to be burned during the Middle Ages.)  GF 
could have used magic to try to blow up Parliament, but the Muggles 
merely ASSUMED it was gunpowder and other ordnance....
