Possibly that becoming fae means losing the ability to replenish a soul (hugging, having teppanyaki, sex, etc...) so that over time, the wear and tear just grinds it down to nothing.

But for Molly it's a slow process that can be resisted to varying degrees. Basically probability says she's going to lose it eventually, but she can theoretically prevent it for effectively forever.

Well if both of these things are accurate then the only conclusion is the Soul is of Creation, love. Only that goes on, and anything else fades away. If a person extinguishes all love within themselves they will be dust in the wind.

Wondered about that. If doing evil makes you loose your soul then what is hell for? Is not loosing your soul preferable to having it tortured for eternity? Or if you are your soul then what are you when you loose it?

Maybe your soul is like the key to Heaven. You lose it and you may still exist, just somewhere else.

Grevane still had a soul, He did a soul gaze with Butters. I do not think he went to heaven.

Might wanna go back and rad the last couple of chapters of Small Favour again. Bob specifically talks about how lost bits grow back when talking to Harry about soulfire usage.
From the WoJ losing your soul is a whole other different level of evil than normal evil. Normal evil is people like Marcone or Hendriks. Losing your soul evil is probably Kemmelar up.
Sort of the difference between a normal serial killer and Adolf Hitler.
