  I agree with you on this-in part.  What is being shown here is 
respect being paid to Harry's father and to his father's friends-
however, I believe it can still be seen as an example of higher 
ethics at work.  In this instance, Harry is still placing the needs  
of others above his own.  Granted, not much of a sacrifice is being 
made here-choosing between Azakaban and immediate death could be 
considered a win/win solution.  IMO,however, it can be still be seen 
in light of Harry's other examples of bravery and sacrifice as a 
reflection of Harry's heroic nature- a nature which was also present 
in both of his parents- a fact of which we are constantly reminded.
