Next example:  Draco Malfoy, being forced to try to kill 
Dumbledore.  Although one could make the argument that although 
the "right" thing to do would be to refuse Voldemort, what he did 
certainly was not EASY for him by any means.

Harry's other choice:  splitting with Ginny.  He felt that it was 
only right that he go on alone.  Choosing what was right over what 
was easy.
