death is it that all of DD's spells would break after his death? I 
mean the entire school is protected by his spells. If his death 
means the end of all his spells it would make Hogwarts extremely 
vulnerable to attack right now! 

Tonks:
I would like to think that the McG and the others would have put up 
new ones ASAP if they were needed.

My question, which I would like JKR to answer someday, is this:  In 
the cave and when he was flying into Hogwarts DD spoke a language 
that Harry did not recognize.  It could not have been Parseltongue 
or Latin, so what was it? 

Are the really old spells in some form of Egyptian? Current spells 
are Latin, so Harry would recognize that. Any ideas??
