DD says .When one wizard saves another wizard's life, it creates a 
certain bond between them."
 
Elanor responded:
What if he meant that it creates a *literal* bond, i.e. that the life 
of the person whose life has been saved becomes inextricably linked 
to that of their saviour?  This could even apply to the extent that, 
should the wizard who did the saving dies, so would the wizard who 
was saved.
 
Kemper now:
I have no cannon for this, but I don't think if the Savior wizard 
dies then so does the Saved.  I say this because I think that DD is 
going to die.  If your guess is right, that Savior dies so Saved 
dies , it would mean that Harry would die should DD die.  A 'certain 
bond between' developed during "The Only One He Ever Feared" when DD 
saved Harry's life.
