It is true they saw Voldemort at his 'height of power' but I wonder 
if that is enough to risk the life of one you care for as a child in 
order to prevent more deaths? 

That is an excellent question and if they do start to fight by the 
means of the dark side in order to defeat the dark side are they as 
bad as the dark side or not since they are using hte dark sides 
power to defeat the dark side, I know this is an old argument that 
might have been said before, but checking back a few thousand 
messages I have been unable to find where this was if it was argued 
already in this fashion, what if they defeat the dark side by the 
dark sides methods are they now the new dark side (at least to those 
few remaining from LV's side?) and the cycle of these wars will 
continue?
