snipped from Dungrollin's post:
The phrase 'life debt' doesn't occur in canon anywhere, but it's a
less cumbersome way of describing this bond (coined by whom?)...

To which i say:
I don't know who first used the phrase here, it's definitely not in 
HP canon, but it most definitely is in Star Wars canon (episode 1, 
Jar Jar Binks owes Quigon Gin a 'life debt'), so maybe George Lucas 
coined the phrase?

sorry about this not having any real relevance to anything, but I 
couldn't resist a chance to mention Star Wars
