This continues a very interesting thread of speculation....

But I have one thought. When I read SS's claim that he could 'put a stopper on death,' I 
interpreted it not as a claim that he could stop someone from dying, but that he could put 
Death itself in a bottle--that is to say, he could brew the potion-making equivalent of the 
AK curse, the ultimate poison. Did anyone else read it this way?
