Annemehr:
Actually, the above quote was Severely Sigune (not Jen Reese, as it
appears).

Oh, no, not a ghost, surely?  Snape, afraid of death, palely stalking
Hogwarts, but really neither here nor there?  No, if he dies, I'm sure
he'll go *on,* if only to tell Whoever Is There exactly what he thinks
of them.

NHN says very few wizards choose the ghostly path.  I figure we'll see
no more than one choose it by the end of the series.  Who might that
be, then?  Fudge? Bagman? Karkarov?  A Malfoy, even?

who figures the "obvious" candidate for ghosthood would be Voldemort
and therefore dismisses him outright
