Bohcoo responds:

Your excellent post made a couple of things spring to mind:

1. There is obviously something about being magical that not only 
prevents or minimizes serious bodily injury, it also allows for an 
extended lifespan. I guess when you consider the additional threats a 
magical person is exposed to (spells, charms, jinxes and hexes), 
evolution would have kicked in at some point to provide the extra 
immunities and protections.

2.  I can't help but picture Wile E. Coyote, though, when I'm reading 
Harry Potter. That poor creature blows himself to bits in every 
cartoon or falls into a ravine, getting flattened into a disc with 
eyeballs -- but springs whole again by the next frame of the action. 
I'm not saying I see the Potter characters as cartoons -- just the 
same surrealistic quality about them.

With regards,
Bohcoo
