yep, that's how I see it. Once that little bit of soul is parked 
elsewhere the whole cannot be 'saved', not only is it using the 
damage inflicted by a terrible act for personal gain but it is 
denying any possibility of healing and redemption.

Nope, I think that without a good dollop of guilt, remorse, 
attrition, whatever, the rip festers. I can't believe a murder 
committed 10 years ago that remains unlamented can be *less* 
damaging than one committed yesterday when the potential for 
retrospective regret is still a possibility. If that makes sense?

By this time Voldy's soul must look like so much chopped liver of 
the *ripe* variety. Ah Pate, the perfect 'horses doobries' for 
Talisman's dementor snack/regurgitate theory.

I may be as woefully wrong as Humphrey Belcher, who believed the 
time was ripe for a cheese cauldron.
