And what would be the point?  Peter would have had many chances while 
nursing LV -- keeping him alive until he gets his body back -- to not 
nurse him and not keep him alive.  Why would DD want to keep LV 
alive.  I guess it could be to draw out the DE's so that they can be 
id'ed.  The costs, Cedric's life being only the tip of the iceburg, 
are just too high for this to make sence. (IMHO)
