The fact that he wants her to seal the room suggests [...] the body is gone

At the end of chapter 91, McGonagall looks into the room and sees (something that looks sufficiently like) Hermione's body. So whatever's meant to have happened by that point, it isn't that Harry has just taken it away without any measures to make it look as if he hasn't.

What if Harry transfigured the bedsheet to look like Hermione, and the transfiguration wore off some time later?
