I, too, expected a *lot* more information on ghosts, but I think there is more there in 
Harry's conversation with Nick if you read between the lines. Especially if you add 
Nicolas Flamel's view on the subject... death being the next big adventure and all... 
hm, well *why* some wizards become ghosts is answered, it's by choice. I expected to 
get more questions answered though. ;)

I always thought that Myrtle wanted to get back at Olive Hornby (some unfinished 
business...), as her first mission in death was to stalk Olive everywhere she went. :)
