Okay, I thought that folks were trying to say that JKR, herself, 
through the rules of the Potterverse, had set up a harsh morality 
wherein if you don't side with Dumbledore, you are by definition, 
evil, and if you do side with him, no matter what you do, you are by 
definition, pure good.  Something I disagree with completely for 
reasons I set out above.

No, no, Betsy. Players are not perfect(that would be annoying ), but 
principles they support are (the forms, since we were discussing it 
in connection with Plato). 

Good and Evil are very clearly defined in Potterverse, don't you 
agree?

It does not preclude greyness in the characters at all. But id does 
preclude greyness in the ending.

Just my opinion,
