Well, Sirius (a member of 'the old crowd') is faithful(loyalty is 
also a dog-associated quality). I think he really *would* die rather 
than betray his friends, dog or human. His 'death' would have been 
when he was hauled into Azkaban, his rebirth the declaration of 
innosence.

Lupin - I suppose being faithful to death counts for him, too - and 
well, I guess death/rebirth goes monthly (sort of) where he's 
concerned.

Only time I recall them having tears is when they "healed" their 
relationship...

Dumbledore? Well, he was *fired* of his potion as head master, but he 
was back in no time...

Their word carry much weight with Harry...

Arabella Figg? (I suppose that going to live as Muggle and returning 
may count as death/rebirth)

Mundungus Fletcher? we know nothing, except that he filed for a lost 
tent(after sleeping under canvas), and tried to curse Arthur Weasley 
on back...
