me: Unless she wanted to illustrate that when a live person goes through the veil/archway he *dies*.  Whether he walks through, is pushed/forced through, falls through - whatever - he's dead.  Obviously we're seeing this from Harry's POV and he doesn't understand exactly why. (Which is why we don't.) However, the adults in the room seemed to understand some unspoken truth that once you go through - that's it.
