Arynn:
True, very true. If you can find no other way to restrain someone, than death is the only way. I would have no problem doing anything in my power (from using non lethal attacks I've learned in Karate, to actually killing someone) to protect my family if someone broke into our house and was threatening them. But you should always use the most minimal amount of force possible. 
 
In Voldie's case this might end up being murder, but in Draco's case no physicality was needed. Draco has shown a tendancy to avoid physical skirmishes. In the few instances when he was the attacker he has either missed or been beaten to the punch (as it were) by Harry. 
 
Why use any of the spells the DA used on Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle when 3 simple stunners (or even better Portego) could have sufficed? And Harry and Gred/Feorge's punching attacks did no good whatsoever.
