If you put the cloak over someone who is dying, they would stay alive, at least until the Cloak is removed and death can find them again.

I'm surprised Harry didn't try this for Hermione, then. Maybe he wouldn't have expected it to work, but it's still an easy hypothesis to test.

It was amazing how many different ways there were to kill your best friend by being stupid.

It's a shame you retracted this, because I wanted to +1 it.

I don't actually remember why I retracted it. I tried to un-retract it afterwards, but I don't think that's possible.
