Pippin:
Of course they wanted to save Harry. But if Voldemort took the 
Unbreakable Vow never to harm Harry or anyone who loves him as 
long as they or Harry didn't attack him, do you think Sirius, Dumbledore,
James or Lily would have accepted the deal? Would you call them
heroes if they did?

I wouldn't. But we may have to agree to disagree on that.
