Your answer raises another question for me. Apparently wizards can't
be killed in a car crash or from being splinched, and baby Harry
didn't die when a house fell on him, so they're more resistant than
Muggles to violent death.    <SNIP>    How, then, can witches and
wizards be killed other than by an AK?

Anybody have any ideas on this?

I don't really think that Hagrid said this meaning that it wasn't possible to 
be killed in a car crash, but only that he was appaled at the thought that 
Harry had been lied to about his parents. And by doing so insulting their 
memory. 

Harry's survival from GH is still very secretive.  He may have been there 
with some one who saved him from being crushed in the house.  IMHO its very hard 
to say anything definate about the happenings at GH until JKR desides to spill 
the beans, but speculating sure does help pass some time!

Also I do believe it is VERY posible for wizards to die in other ways than 
the AK.  One thing that stands out for me is Dementors of course!  But I would 
assume that wizards could be killed by other things as well.   Harry would have 
been dead in CoS if not for Fawks, and Author Weasley in OotP when biten by 
Nagini if not for St. Mungo's so I would assume animal bites.  Also in PS/SS if 
I remember corectly aren't two of Snapes potions (used to guard the stone) in 
the logic riddle Hermione solves poison.  And I can't recall hearing any 
Wizards dieing in car crashes or things like that, but I believe it is possible.
