CH3ed:
Nah. If Bella was there then she would know what happened to LV 
after he got smoked by his own AK and wouldn't need to go with her 
husband and brother in law..and Barty Crouch Jr to torture the 
Longbottoms in an "attempt to find the Dark Lord."

"5) If his big fear is death, why not just have him die? To prove 
that Dumbledore was right about there being things worse than death? 
As a neat solution to the problem of Voldemort's outright death 
requiring the destruction of Horcrux-Harry? (The latter could be 
avoided by having a Dementor, Harry's Big Fear, sucking the soul-
part out through his scar)." <snip>

"I like the idea of the Dementor's sucking the soul part out of 
Harry's scar! In fact, maybe that's why they're so attracted to 
Harry. And if LV is soul-sucked by the Dementors, that's not really 
dying, but living on as a soulless shell. (Though it still seems 
like dying to me, unless it's analogous to being fully paralyzed 
with your mind intact, since how else would one know how dreadful 
their soul-sucked existence is?)"


CH3ed:
I actually think it is more of a psychological thing. There are real 
people who were cheerful and optimistics and then something dreadful 
happen to them and they die on the inside... become hopeless and 
empty, nothing left of their former self. The ultimate state of 
depression....probably just before they go jump off a cliff. A sad 
state, really. I think that is more what Jo has in mind than 
something like a lock-in, which are people who are conscious and 
aware, but are paralysed in their voluntary muscles. They just lay 
in bed without being able to move anything. That is a dreadful 
state, too, but it is the opposite condition of what the dementor's 
kiss would produce since they retain their soul but lose the ability 
to move and to communicate. Another state that would fit is the 
state of being brain dead or in permanent vegetative state like Teri 
Schiavo was in. The body was alive but there is no cognitive 
awareness anymore.

Having said that, I'll go with Exodusts and say LV will just get 
killed.

CH3ed:
Gosh, I hope Lupin survives. The other 3 are certainly candidates. I 
would add the bad giants that Hagrid and Mme. Maxim tried to reason 
with to the hit list, tho. 


CH3ed :O)
