If you ask me Helena Ravenclaw could do with some repentence
herself, she stole a treasure from her own mother didn't she? She
could also do with a little forgiveness. Holding a grudge for a
thousand years doesn't strike me as being very spiritually advanced.
BTW we haven't any idea have we exactly why Nearly Headless Nick was
beheaded? Treason and/or murder are his most likely crimes. Of course
he might have been innocent...
