The Veil<snip>I would not be surprised to see Harry go
through the veil, but my money would be in Book 7. 
Since "going through the veil" seems to imply a permanent
death, what would happen if a ghost went through
the veil?<snip>

I would think that a ghost would end up just like Nick did
when he saw the basilisk --- COS didnt go into detail as
to how Nick recovered by "drinking" mandrake juice, just
that he did.
However, if a ghost did go through the veil and there was
no recovery, he just might die, or ultimately be freed if
the veil was ever changed to two-way.....
Philip Pullman tried to address similar issues in The Amber
Spyglass, the third volume of His Dark Materials series.

We can probably assume that when living or dead people
cross the veil, they are gone for good. But what would
happen if one who is neither living nor dead goes through?
I'm referring to Peeves. As a poltergeist, he is not the
remnants of a living person. Nor is he a person in living
form. Could he pass through the veil and return unscathed?

Or for that matter, how about Voldemort? Is he really dead
or alive?
That might explain Dumbledores famous "gleam" - before he 
got Harry's blood, LV would be able to go back and forth 
since "he didnt have enough life in him to die" {per Hagrid}.
Now that he has Harry's  life in him, the veil would be
like Roach Motel to him {so to speak}.............
