Alla:

I am happy if he does and again I was VERY surprised  that he did 
not manage to kill Dumbledore, BUT the fact is that he took this 
asignment initially because he wanted glory for himself as he tells 
his fellow Slytherins on the train.

I am thinking what he felt was  fear of taking somebody's life, 
which is a good first step, but remorse? Not sure.

My answer to subject line would be that Harry is good ( not saintly, 
mind you, but good overall), twins are .... hmmmm, I would call 
them  useful JKR's tools for vicarious retribution and for humor.

Draco is .... well, someone who has two attempted murders to atone 
for, but not managed to finish them. I would not call him good 
yet,definitely not, but a bit better than I always thought about him.

And Snape IS a murderer, IMO.


JMO of course,
