Brrrrr! It's COLD in this water! This is starting to make more and 
more sense. Ooooh, I just don't know...so eerie.

I almost hate to bring this up, but there's another bit of canon. I 
just looked it up.

"They were standing instead in a dark and overgrown graveyard; the 
black outline of a small church was visible beyond a large yew tree 
to their right." (GOF)


Aside from the obvious symbolism of the small church, here's another.
It is mentioned at least three times specifically, and I'll bet at 
least some of you caught it: 

The yew tree. It is said to be an ancient symbol of immortality.

Of course, it could just be referring to V's immortality quest, but 
still... Shivers! Hypothermia! 

(Get off that water, Harry! Right now! Come back here!)
