I've been wondering about this from another perspective, wouldn't as
we know how the 'muggle' world works, the usual interpretation of
death show up as something like the grim reaper, or a dementor without
a scythe?
For Molly she was afraid of all the people she loved being killed, so
the boggart took a form of their corpses. This isn't a good example
for fear of 'death', or one's own death but I can understand seeing
your own corpse, but shouldn't it take more of a 'spiritual' form or
something to that extent, since you KNOW you're not dead? You can't
really See your self being dead, unless a mirror were involved, but
you'd be dead so what would you see? (...ah, rats. You get what I
mean. *cringes*)
An interpretation of death, as something you grew up with, so if Harry
and Voldie are raised by muggles, they would recognize the grim reaper
and it's other forms, even if in passing, so did Harry ever relate the
Dementor to the grim reaper? Would LV do so?
