A lot of spells not intended for murder can kill people anyway.
Levitation (Wingardium Leviosa) with which Ron hit a troll on the head
with its own club in PS/SS -- a blow that knocks out a troll will kill
a human. The Reductor charm with which Harry blasted the hedge out of
the way in GoF -- it should blast a person to just as small bits. I've
always been fond of the idea of Transfiguring the enemy's aorta to
tissue paper, which would promptly dampen and tear so the enemy would
die of massive internal hemorrhage.

Last year, my DH asked me if HBP!Dumbledore was Snape in disguise for
the whole book, because he thought DD's black withered hand might be
the result of trying to remove a Dark Mark from that forearm.

Who Snape really is: the inventor of Sectumsempra?

I hope you mean disrespect to the recently bereaved, rather than
disrespect to the dead. I said 'Good riddance. It should have happened
sooner' when I heard of Slobodan Milosevic's death. (Actually, from
everything I've heard of his wife, son, and daughter, I feel no need
to respect their grief either, but I do realise it would be bad manners.
