Can anyone think of a reason *why* this would be so, though? It
really puzzled me as soon as I read it. Do you suppose it goes any
further, that a wizard who dies and "goes on" does not go on to the
same "place" as a muggle who dies? I wouldn't write it that way,
myself, but then I wouldn't have had all ghosts being ex-wizards,
either.
I'm going to be really discontented until I know the reason behind
this, but I'll feel better if someone could come up with a plausible
theory!
