Yeah, Voldemort did go the extra mile there. My point was that this kind of death scene isn't normally found in children's books. If people die, it's usually not in vain, which it pretty much was here. Stuff like this, combined with how the borders beween right and wrong sometimes blur, is what makes the Potter books pretty unique. There's a Roald Dahlian grotesqeness present, only not as playful.
