Lupinlore replied:
I can say so, and do.  Mainly based on the fact  that Cedric is not 
suffering at all.  Death is a one time  phenomenon.  Therefore the fact 
that Snape persistantly and  systematically abuses Harry over years DOES 
have great bearing.   Stinkbombs to a nuclear explosion?  Give me the 
center of the explosion  any day over being locked for years in a room 
of  stinkbombs.




Julie now:
But you only have to go in the room with stinkbombs 3 times a week,
not including summer, Christmas or Spring break. All the rest of the
time you get to enjoy life, smell the flowers, laugh with your friends,  etc.
I know stinkbombs aren't very pleasant, but really you'd still rather be 
vaporized by a nuclear explosion?

and all that was lost with it, even if it wasn't physical  suffering)
