While reading this post a totally new idea occured to me.  Now it may 
not be a new idea at all, it may have been discussed at length and I 
just dont know about but it raised a question to me and maybe sombody 
can answer it

What about nearly headless nick? Dont you think he probably would 
have known that he was going to be executed and come up with some 
magical way to overcome his difficulty?  Apparate out of the dungeon 
or wherever he was, put some anti severing charm on himself or 
something? to me it just doesnt make sense that he wouldnt have been 
able to protect himself in anyway, even if his wand had been 
confiscted (other magical folk can preform magic without a wand 
regularly <dumbldore> or because of high emotions during a stressful 
time <harry>).  and he must have been a wizard because otherwise why 
would he be hanging out in Hogwarts after his death? Somehow I dont 
think that ole "hoggy hoggy hogwarts" it the hottest spot for all 
ghosts to be. So why didnt he protect himself  if he knew about his 
impending death? Anyone interested in giving me their ideas or 
clueing me in that duh! everyones debated that already?
