Now Alice:

Judging by the way he didn't let Wormtail be killed, I don't think
Harry would be into letting anybody else get killed. Wormtail is bad
to the bone, and Harry knows that. Yet he wants to give him a fair
trial. Ron or Hermione are Good, and I think Harry would much rather
NOT defeat Bad at that specific moment than sacrifice their lives (or
Snape's, or Draco's, or the Dursley's, for that matter). 

I'm quite sure, though, that he will have to face this type of dilemma
sooner or later (and probably sooner) in the series. We shall see.

No danger of becoming Buffyish, in any case: Harry has already made
countless sacrifices, and his friends also - this might actually be
the key: he would sacrifice people only if they were prepared to be
sacrificed. 

Which would leave the Dursley's alive, and Ron dead. Rather awful
thought... 

Anybody else on the matter?

Love, Alice

is), could you please mail me if you have a sec? I have a question on
name spellings... Thank you.
