be made with  the bodies of the dead.  Maybe, DD is taking care 
of their graves by  ensuring that they aren't desecrated.  (I know 
I'm morbid.)<

I think this is an excellent point, not morbid at all, except that 
black magic in general is morbid. The Hand of Glory, which 
appears in CoS, is made from the hand of a corpse. The body 
parts of magical creatures  have powers after their 
deaths--dragon blood and heartstrings for example. Wizard 
graveyards probably have very powerful magical protections on 
them to keep Dark Wizards from harvesting the remains. 
Therefore the Trio could not make a casual visit as Cuaron 
would have had them do.
