  Dunno if he really died. If he did, then JRK has little respect for 
him, since his death was due to his carelessness, and that's not the 
way I would think he'd die. Plus, it appears that he went into the 
veil alive, since he wasn't hit with an unforgivable, if I recall the 
colors correctly. Somehow I think that the mirror he gave Harry will 
hold some secrets for him later. JMHO.
