[Not an Issue] Hexxat: Heal or Harm?

When I found and got the real Hexxat as a party member I thought - what, with she being Undead after all - that I had to memorize some Inflict Wounds spell in order to able to heal her, since (as far as I can remember from 2nd Edition AD&D) healing spells cause harm to Undead, whereas harming spells heal them.
Not so - which is fair enough from a gamer's perspective (no need to stack up on harming spells in order to keep an Undead creature ...well, alive).

Question is, though: should it be? :-)
Should a healing spell work on Hexxat, given the fact she is Undead - should she in fact be harmed by such a spell?

    Harm wouldn't really work since it requires you to successfully hit an opponent. It's a neat idea for a mod and feature request, but I think for gameplay purposes it's best to keep things as they are.
