I was under the impression that the Interdict was something Yudkowsky added. It’s been a long, long time since I read the originals, but this stackexchange post has a bunch of people saying the Interdict is a HPMOR-exclusive. There’s also a counterexample: in canon, Harry learns sectumsempra by reading it out of Snape’s old potion book.
Yes, it was something Yudkowsky added. But the text doesn’t imply ghosts aren’t “really people”; it just states that they’re read-only human simulations of unknown fidelity, and the characters are chauvinistic about that.
Or were just exempted from protection from the Interdict of Merlin, like books.

Oh. Yeah, that seems obvious now, thanks for pointing that out.
