This does not include that Dumbledore had 
planned it this way: he can determine Harry's moral sense by pasivelly 
observing him go into all that trouble, without pushing him into it. 
But since I do believe that the "defenses" were though as a training 
excercise, it's logical to assume that Dumbledore had the little moral 
test at the end (after having tested resourcefulness, bravery, 
intelligence, knowledge, etc. etc.).
