Catlady :

Why?  I grew up around policeman and have no idea how hard or easy it
is to wipe blood off human hair.  I went to medical school and have no
idea how hard or easy it is to wipe blood off human hair.  In other
words, IMO this is a clue to absolutely, positively, nothing, and is
not obvious even to someone who HAS been medically trained, much less
someone who hasn't. >>


I thought it was obvious from 'vive la difference' that she was
speaking of menstrual blood. But my recollection of long-ago Human
Anatomy and Physiology class (undergraduate) is that menstrual blood
is different from other shed blood because it has already clotted and
unclotted.

Hmmm…I took Pippin's statement at face value. I must say I agree with her
that a half an hour would present difficulty in simply wiping off dried
blood. If the AK killed Dumbledore instantly, as it should have if it were
real, then any blood from said fall would have dried within the half hour
time frame till Harry's arrival because the heart had stopped pumping blood.




As far as blood drying within the time frame of the supposed AK and fall, a
personal thought came to mind involving my Dad falling splitting his ear to
the point of stitches and within a half of an hour of the fall I could not
get the dried blood cleaned up from his face and beard even with very warm
water. This is of course an external bleeding experience compared to an
internal bleeding experience that would provoke bleeding from the mouth. But
again if it were internal bleeding that began as a result of the fall, would
Dumbledore continue to bleed once his heart had stopped previous to the fall
due to the AK? If you throw a dead body a hundred feet would fresh blood
bleed from the mouth for a half an hour? If it were not fresh blood then I
would highly suspect that it could not be removed by simply wiping it.
