Neri:
In such case, one wonders why did Voldy kill Bertha in GoF? She could
come back as a ghost and foil his plan. But maybe he made sure her
memory was completely destroyed before he killed her? Hmm, a good
point. Must remember to obliviate the Hx SKs before you kill'em.

Neri:
Not exactly. If the secret is the house where the Hx was hidden, and
you have a reason to suspect that the SK (dead or not) had blabbered,
you just take the Hx out of this house and hide it somewhere else,
using another SK.
