LOL good one Ginger!! I like this and think you may be right ... in 
essence if not in the way her "death" was actually accomplished 
(though to my eyes your theory is very plausible). I also think a 
similar "fate" might have befallen Amelia Bones. Another "nasty 
killing", according to the Muggles Prime Minister, to frighten the 
muggles, pulled off in a locked room, and keep their "please men" 
busy. Even though LV is alleged by Fudge to have killed her himself 
and she "put up a real fight"... she might have had a little bottle 
of "Draught of Living Death" hidden in her robes, supplied, of 
course, by our dear potion master Snape, that she could gulp down 
during the heat of battle with LV. And this would be even more 
likely if AB was "killed" after Emmaline... could have been that LV 
still did not believe Snape completely and had him supply yet 
another name (maybe an OOP member and maybe not but as the head of 
the Wizagamont she certainly would be a feather in LV's death cap). 
I've even wondered if there might not be a version of the ROR where 
all these "hidden dead" witches and wizards are hanging out - 
complete with kitchen, loo, books, games, and other pastimes. Hummm 
now if Harry wandered by yearning to find what DD has hidden, might 
the ROR open for him to this very place?

many more ways than just protecting Harry
