Yup! And DMLE was even nice enough to authorize Aurors to use Unforgivables. By the end of Voldie War I Wizarding UK was an absolute madhouse. I wonder how many people emigrated back then and never returned.
I mean, what Binns is going to spend his salary on? Ghostly brandy to drink during debates with his fellow ghostly scholars? Also, what is the legal status of ghosts? Are they treated like objects? Magical creatures? Fellow witches and wizards? Can you get your inheritance if your ancestor stubbornly refuses to move on?
I hope your nightmare-boss wasn't researching immortality ;P
I don't like the scenario where Tom is killed by Voldemort because he challenged him to a duel. Voldemort goes after Harry because a) he is a madman, b) it's personal and c) he is a drama queen. If early in his career he establishes he will humour any village idiot who wants to duel him instead of ordering his underlings to exterminate the pest, he undermines his reputation as a leader. You have underlings to do tasks below your standing.
