Crack! The eyeball became a severed hand, which flipped over and began

He most fears a severed hand, presumably his own.

Sherrie here:

Dean is a Muggleborn, is he not?  When I read this bit, I was reminded of an 
old, old (1946 or '47, IIRC) B horror flick, THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS.  
(Okay, I confess - I was actually reminded of the "Hand of Count Petofi" segment 
from DARK SHADOWS, which was a shameless rip-off of that film, right down to 
the ring!)  The film featured Peter Lorre; in it, the severed hand of a 
deceased pianist went about killing people.  

Maybe Dean's been watching the British equivalent of "Creature Features"?
