psyduck; Jo's only 'messed with death' once with Peter Petigrew. That was more a diabolical plan than a real ''bring someone back from the dead thing' though, so I reckon that doesn't count. Jo's told us that the death of her mum impacted on the plot of HP almost as much as it did her life. I don't think she'll be doing a 'bring them back in the last scene for happy cuddles'. Death is death. Goodbyes are goodbyes. Living with out them is a struggle. Anything else is a cop out.

GinWeasRoc: As said before, I was swayed by the 'Dumby's not dead' thread for a while but for all the reasons aboce and cannon proof, i reckon he's a gonna. Why do you think he might still be alive?
