Trojan Women in Harry Potter

I'm currently re-reading the first Harry Potter book because of course, it is AMAZING!!!!! <3 But it made me think of how in the Trojan Women, Talthybius brings Andromache the body of her dead son. It seemed unusual, for them to bring back the body of the boy they murdered, but I think Talthybius felt bad and wanted to show his respect. This reminded me of the part in the 7th Harry Potter book when Dobby dies and Griphook tells Harry that he is an unusual wizard, and Harry asks why. He says: "Because you dug the grave." It shows that Harry wanted to show his respect for Dobby and his sacrifice, just as Talthybius wanted to show his respect for Andromache and her son.
