I do recall what Hagrid said, but that still does not answer the 
question of their bodies.  Also, I have been intrigued by why they 
are called "Death Eaters" but do not think literal cannabilism is 
implied.  I thought it was more that they "live off death"...that 
is, their focus on destroying those they deem unworthy gives them 
their la joie de vie.
