Tex, I was not trying to say that it is JKR that will kill the
characters.  I was saying that in the world JKR has created, we need
to think of whether *they* would allow him to be executed.

Yes, it is JKR's decision, in a way, whether to kill off anyone.  But
in a fantasy world, and I think I am entering one of Grey Wolf's pet
theories, there are certain guidelines and viewpoints that are
constructed.  Since JKR is a wonderful author, she obeys these rules
and writes the story of the characters.  Her own viewpoints are
littered into the text, but she is not out to pass judgment on her
characters.  She is just portraying them in their world.

I said that bit earlier, because the discussion was coming to blows
over whether execution and torture are morally wrong.  I wrote what I
did to steer the discussion back into whether execution and torture is
wrong *in the Wizard World*.  So what happens depends on Harry's,
Dumbledore's, and the WW's viewpoints.

Hope I made my quote clearer.
