The dead returning...

You know, reading all this stuff about how Sirius is not only dead, 
butis most sincerely dead, it occurred to me that it's a good thing 
that JKR is unlikely to be a big fan of the old EC horror comics.  
(_Tales from the Crypt_ is the best-known, but there were several.)  
Otherwise...

"Bellatrix stared in horror as her cousin lurched toward her.  'No!  
Stay away!' she shrieked.  'You're dead!  I killed you!'

"Closer and closer Sirius came.  His mouth opened, and he said, in a 
hollow voice: 'I know.  And I'm coming for you, Bella.  It's just that 
I have to come slowly...because pieces of me...keep falling off...'"

Seriously, though, there have to be enough dead people with a mad-on 
at the DEs that if they could make it back, all of a sudden it would 
be sort of like _Harry Potter and the Return of the Living Dead._
