Welcome to Gaia! ::

James died how he would have wanted, protecting the woman that he'd loved for so long and the child that they made together.

I think Hagrid had a point when he told Harry that Sirius also would have wanted to die in battle, but I doubt Sirius would've wanted a curtain and his cousin to bring him down.

I suspect Remus would have been semi-satisfied with any death that didn't result from his lycanthropy. As long as it wasn't self-inflicted wounds or being executed for being a Dark Creature he would deem it acceptable. Not preferable, but acceptable.

Lily did wind up givng Harry magical protection, which I'm sure pleases her, but sometimes I bet she regrets begging for mercy instead of cursing the git.

I bet Snape hates himself for letting himself be killed off by Voldemort's pet. He didn't get to see the man brought down that murdered his precious Lily. However, I don’t think Snape would have wanted to live once Voldemort had been defeated because – given the fact that he had no family or friends – after Lily was avenged he would have nothing to live for. Poor Sev.

Wormtail...who cares about him? He valued his own life too much to ever be happy with any death.

Dobby's death was beautiful and well done, and I don’t believe he would’ve wanted to leave this world in any other fashion. He returned to the house of his masters and defied them to their faces, and died saving Harry as he would have wished. Then, Harry dug his grave with his hands. It was all so lovely and I bet Dobby would have adored it.

Cedric definitely would not have wanted to be murdered at such a young age by Voldemort’s minion for being “a spare.” That's why I'm impressed that he seemed calm when he asked Harry to return his body to his parents.

Crabbe loathed his demise, I’m sure, which is good considering that the p***k deserved it.

Bellatrix probably would not have wanted to keep living after Voldemort’s death. Nonetheless, she ought to have been destroyed by Neville, not Molly.

I know that there are more deaths, but I had speculations about these characters already. I’ll probably post more later.

I agree with James' also. There couldn't have been a better death for him.

I think Sirius would have been happy with his death a little bit because he died in battle and because he was protecting Harry. I think he would've been a little irked that he was killed by Bellatrix though.

Hedwig would've been irritated with her death, I think. She didn't really have a chance to fight back.

I'm not sure how many people thought about Voldemort's death, but I did. I know he'd probably be angry that Harry killed him and he couldn't take over the world or whatever. He'd also be mad that Harry didn't actually use the Killing Curse to kill him. But I also think that, way down deep inside, he was a little relieved for it all to be over. Or maybe that's just me wishing...

This is a really good topic, Minerva.

Thanks Rayvyn!

I agree that Voldemort would have hated his death since he technically killed himself. The Killing Curse rebounded off of Harry AGAIN when Harry sent Expelliarmus at him. I liked that Voldy killed himself so Harry wasn't a murderer.

Tonks would have been displeased with her death since she saw Remus die first and when she got killed she would have perished with the knowledge that Teddy was an orphan.

I think that Wormtails death, though was fitting, would have been even sweeter if Sirius or Lupin killed him, because he tore his friends apart. I also think that he probably would have felt like he deserved it. As it was, I bet he felt really stupid for his betrayal while he was strangeling himself.

I think that Sirius would have hated his death, because he did die in battle, but not the final battle where he could have really gone down nobly, and also because he was killed by a curtain and his cousin. That would annoy anybody, I'm sure.

I think that Dumbledore took his death in stride, just like everything else in his life. He accepted it as it was and thought that if that was how it happened, that was good with him.

I think that Moody was probably annoyed to death at his death, if you'll excuse the pun. He would have been angry that he didn't get to live and take down Death Eaters at the final battle.

Snape probably hated his death because, in all honesty, he didn't get to do anything firsthand to avenge Lily. Yeah, he did what he was supposed to, but he didn't have the satisfaction of even getting to spit in Voldemorts face and gloat that he fooled him (metaphorically. Snape wasn't the kind of person to really do that). He was happy he died and didn't have to gone on, but most likely he was angry that he died in that particular way.

When Tonks realized that she was dead, her exact words were probably 'Well this sucks.' She had too much life in her and was too young to be ok with any kind of death. Plus, she had a newborn child. Her mothering instinct would have been unable to accept the fact that she couldn't take care of her child.

Lily was probably pretty similar to Tonks. She felt good for dying to protect her son, but was probably angry as all getout that she was dead and couldn't be there for her son and her friends, and to help finish the fight.
