Moondance:
Harry does have morals and values, though where he learned them is a 
mystery!  I believe it's the same inherent character that gives Harry 
these morals which enabled him to survive the Dursleys with an 
ability to sympathize and care for others.  It's this inherent 
characater that drives him to want to help/save others.  In PS/SS, 
though Harry hates Draco, he still wouldn't wish him fatal harm.  
Now, after 4 more years AND that fact that his father is a DE, his 
choice to save/help Draco may change.

So, though he may be angry at DD (for good reason), I don't think 
that would change his desire to keep DD from harm and help/save him 
if possible.  Besides, could he stand to lose another father figure 
in his life?

I think this holds true for anyone Harry perceives as being on 
the "good" side...Slytherin, MOM official, OotP member, etc. 
(perception being the key).
