Yeah, that's really bad. If she didn't want to deal with them, then she needed to get Harry to the station in a different way. How hard would that have been?

And I don't think I buy this "death has to sink in" idea either. If it's not a literal binary "seen death/not seen death" then maybe you could come to the same realisations without actually seeing a person die -- just start being aware of your own mortality.

Or maybe if you saw an illusion of someone dying, then it would have the same effect, so long as you believed it.

As always, the more I think about these things, the more complex they become. *g*
