I wrote that scenario -- mainly as a throw away possibility.  I guess 
it's kind of like asking whether assasinating Hitler in 1939 would be 
wrong.
I think I've been influenced by the philosophy approach in my ethics 
class, (Utilitarianism -- if anyone is interested).  Coincidentally, 
we were discussing action/inaction in the class and the lecturer 
offered a good argument on why there is no difference between killing 
and letting people die through inaction.  Both are conscious choice 
of taking a human life.

I like the poetic justice thing but it just seems, as somebody said, 
taking the easy way out.  Like it or not, in real life, evil 
*usually* doesn't cause its own downfall.  It does require actions 
(somtimes cruel actions) to curb evil.  But I guess it all up to JKR.
