 would have won and Harry would have suffered a horrible death. 
Hermione did the "immoral" thing and as a result Umbridge 
 lost and Harry lived.<

Pippin:
Um, the centaurs were going to drag Harry and Hermione off and 
do whatever they did to Umbridge. If her plan had worked as she 
intended, Hermione's "morality" would have resulted in three 
people being driven insane instead of just one. IMO, it was 
immoral as well as stupid for Hermione to try to unleash a 
weapon she couldn't control.  It would have been far more 
sensible as well as ethical  to lead Umbridge to Grawp in the 
first place. At least he was her friend.
