5) Grims? Do wizards *Really* die of fright because they happen to
see a big black dog somewhere? If that were true, a *boggart* could
kill them! (then again, Hermione's probably wrong. Someone who can't
deal with a boggart might think that...) Oh yes, and let's not forget
things like Devil's Snare and Mandrakes and basilisks and... how many
committed suicide in Azkaban?

vmonte responds:
It's not the grim that kills the wizard/witch. The grim portends 
their death.  Basically, it's a bad sign if you see one.
