instance of = fictional human edit

My edit got reverted by Infovarius also removing what was added as a reference, imported from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harry_Potter_(character)&oldid=882056520#Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix

I quote from that reference that was added but from that notice the author is stating "[Harry is] a very human hero, and this is, obviously, a contrast, between him, as a very human hero, and Voldemort, who has deliberately dehumanised himself": (also here's reference 11)

Rowling says she put Harry through extreme emotional stress to show his emotional vulnerability and humanity—a contrast to his nemesis, Voldemort. 
"[Harry is] a very human hero, and this is, obviously, a contrast, between him, as a very human hero, and Voldemort, who has deliberately dehumanised himself. And Harry, therefore, did have to reach a point where he did almost break down, and say he didn't want to play any more, he didn't want to be the hero any more – and he'd lost too much. And he didn't want to lose anything else. So that – Phoenix was the point at which I decided he would have his breakdown."[11]

Harry Potter is a human as far as I know. Please join the discussion if you disagree, I mean even the author of the books agree that he is. "[Harry is] a very human hero, and this is, obviously, a contrast, between him, as a very human hero, and Voldemort, who has deliberately dehumanised himself"

I stated it already at the Project Chat but it won't hurt to have it also at this place: I suppose that this statement was removed because it is redundant: wizard in the Harry Potter universe (Q15298259) is a subclass of fictional human (Q15632617) so that Harry Potter is a human is already implied by the statement instance of (P31): wizard in the Harry Potter universe (Q15298259). - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 20:07, 27 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Btqfshfst: yes, I removed it because it is redundant and subclass of it is already present. --Infovarius (talk) 13:59, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Death should be added or not? edit

There was a discussion and some edit war. If anyone has additional arguments, you are welcome. --Infovarius (talk) 08:55, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Infovarius, Skorp24: one could also use significant event (P793) as in the statement below, but I have no idea how to express that Lord Voldemort was responsible for the event. I think there is no property that covers such a relation, yet.
significant event
  clinical death (there is also near death experience)
point in time 2 May 1998
location Hogwarts grounds
has cause homicide
has immediate cause Avada Kedavra
??? Lord Voldemort
