Pippin:
So blood coagulation is important? Really? Are you sure you want
to go there?

Careful, Neri. If blood coagulation is important, and we should pay
attention to it, then Snape did not AK Dumbledore. Not if he was
bleeding half an hour after he supposedly died. Here's the canon,
in case you've forgotten. Or are we supposed to think that 
Dumbledore was on blood-thinning medication? <g>

"Harry walked alongside him, feeling the aches and pains in his face
and his legs where the various hexes of the last half hour had hit
him, though in an oddly detached way, as though somebody near
him was suffering them.
<snip>
Harry reached out, straightened the half-moon spectacles upon the
crooked nose, and wiped a trickle of blood from the mouth with his
sleeve."  HBP ch28

Odd, too, if he fell hard enough to break his bones and yet didn't 
break his glasses.
