I have been away for a few days, so I was catching up on some posts 
of interest.  I read this right after reading about the posts about 
James and Lilly's remains.  The AK could not have cremated them, or 
Harry would not be holding Cedric's dead body.  He would not have 
had a body to hold onto while going back through the portkey.  Do we 
have any canon evidence, other than Petunia's "got herself blown up"  
comment that there actually were no remains of James and Lilly?  
Regardless of the answer "yes remains" "no remains" my question is 
this: Any speculations as to how this would play into the plot of 
the septology?  It could be we don't kow because we don't need to 
know...it has no plot value. Just curious.

In PS:
Hagrid says about Harry's scar: "That's what yeh get when a Powerful, 
evil curse touches yeh -- took care of yer mum an' dad an' yer house, 
even -- but it didn't work on you, an' that's why yer famous, Harry."
A few paragraphs later, Harry asks about money, saying: "But if their 
house was destroyed --" and then Hagrid tells him:  "They didn' keep 
their gold in the house, boy! Nah, first stop fer us is Gringotts. 
Wizards' bank. Have a sausage, they're not bad cold -- an' I wouldn' 
say no teh a bit o' yer birthday cake, neither."

On a second note about what happens to the remains of others like 
Cedric who do leave a corpse--well, I think we ought look at what 
Voldemort's followers a recalled--**Death Eaters**.  I'm sure if this 
means they set up a buffet and snack on the remains or if it's more 
spiritual or even the theiving of the magical essances of theose they 
kill, but they're called Death Eaters for a reason.  Also, this 
notion is echoed in the incantation for the Dark Mark--"Morsmordre".  
It literally translates to "Eat Death".
