Dave:
We don't know that such a small quantity of flesh is sufficient.
Causing the "willing servant" pain seems to be part of the process.

Besides, unlike LV, Harry has *friends*, rather than "servants".

Dave:
Isn't "allowing to forcibly take" a contradiction?

Steve:

Dave:
If I were Ron and Hermione, I'd sooner learn how to make a new
Philosopher's Stone than resort to such horrible sorcery.
And it isn't just the "flesh, blood, and bone" -- Didn't
LV mention unicorn blood too? -- I don't think Harry would want
his friends to curse themselves for life!!


Aside from all of this, I am quite frankly not really keen
on this "accidental horcrux" concept -- If Voldemort
regenerating his body is so complicated, I imagine
encasing a soul requires an equally elaborate ritual.  I'm even
wondering if Harry might be forced to witness at least part of it
before this saga is over...
