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.

Jo Ann:

Unfortunate that Muggle graveyards have no such protections (unless you want 
to take into account consecrated ground.)  Let's not forget that Voldemort 
needed the "bones of the father" to be restored...and apparently either that 
graveyard wasn't consecrated, or such things have no power over evil in JKR's 
world...
