Committing a very small crime in order to stop a vastly greater evil 
is not only justified it is smart. If Harry had not stolen the 
potions ingredients from Snape because he thought stealing was wrong 
in my book he would forever be branded as a terminally boring Goody 
Two Shoes. Nobody wants to read about the further adventures of Mr. 
Dudley Do-right.
In future books I hope to see Harry do something REALLY 
controversial, not just saying something rude to a friend or being 
late returning a library book. I want to see Harry spill some (bad 
guys) blood and not feel particularly guilty about it. Remember, 
Harry is now in a war. A war where good people don't sometimes have 
to do very bad things is impossible; and sometimes those good people 
even start to enjoy the killing. I think that's one of the things 
that makes war so horrible.
