Hi, all.  OK, on Professor Quirrell....does he actually *die*?  I mean DD did say that LV "left him to die" but that doesn't necessarily mean PQ did die.....(I know I'm splitting hairs, but this assumption that PQ actually died when we really have no evidence for it bothers me).  So maybe, he'll come out of hiding (or whatever) and testify for Harry in this case.  Not that it would do much good, I'm afraid (IMHO)....

The only problem with this idea is that (I believe) that you have to have your wand to perform this spell, and I really don't think that the MoM is going to let a Azkaban inmate have his/her wand............

But that's just me :)
