There is that possibility, since life debts and so forth carry a 
certain magic-- didn't somebody here theorize that such a no-no could 
have caused Voldemort's curse backfire?  (Sorry I keep mentioning, 'I 
saw someone post this...)

But the scene struck me in a different way, along the lines that 
perhaps Harry might show compassion to, say, a baby Voldemort or 
so... (various ways... TT, soak in the MoM tank, echoes Japanese folk 
tale, etc.) 

Of course this seems rather out there now, but Hermione's line does 
seem to stick out.
