Eddie again:
Yeah, I thought about this gruesome possibility, but decided that it
would still be an OK idea.  After all, if the polyjuice drinker became
how the original person is now, or was at the time of the hair-taking
(for instance), then Harry and Ron would have become unconscious (like
Crabbe and Goyle were during that hour), Barty Crouch Jr. would have
been weak and feeble and unconscious with big bits of hair missing as
the real Mad Eye Moody was for months, etc.  So, it seems that the
drinker would be safe.  Maybe.  Any volunteers for who would like to
be the first person to test this?
