Dead people are supposed to stay lying down. The walking dead are, 
therefore, terrifying.

Not terribly likely. The fewer Muggles the better, according to the 
Death Eater mindset. The point was to prove they could carry out 
their threats, case in point being the threat of a mass murder if 
Fudge didn't step down in favor of Voldemort. Those were actual 
deaths of actual people who happened to have the misfortune of being 
right there right then.

I keep seeing this scene playing in my head where Harry arrives at 
the Dursleys' and Vernon immediately demands Harry's house as 
compensation for all those years of having to feed, clothe, and 
house Harry's ungrateful arse. My opinion is that if such happens, 
Harry should give it to him (along with all the nasty surprises that 
haven't been gotten out yet) as fair compensation for all those 
years of next-thing-to-starvation, worn-out hand-me-down clothing 
that's far far too big, having to sleep in the cupboard under the 
stairs, and all the other varieties of abuse inflicted on Harry's 
unfortunate head.
