montims:
Well, you know, it all depends HOW he dies...  If he dies saving the WW and
is then reunited with his parents, Sirius, and such of his fellow students
that also get chopped, it might not be such a bad deal...  Writers do kill
off their darlings - see Little Nell for probably the most famous example -
and people do die in RL (OK, that's obvious - I meant in an untimely and/or
tragic manner)...
