There is also Hagrid's comment is PS/SS: "Some say he died. 
Codswallop, in my opinion. Dunno if he had enough human left in him 
to die."

I do however wonder about the morality of Kneasy's statement that 
it's okay to use the unforgivable curses on Voldemort just as long as 
he is no longer human. It's precisely this sort of attitude that 
results in resentment among the non-humans.
