even loved you.  But even in general, I can't imagine any circumstances in which I could kill another person, even if it was for the so-called greater good."

CH3ed: 
What if the person in question is dying a prolonged horrible painful death? I realize there are people who are of the opinion that last-option euthanasia is not a ligitimate option, but shouldn't that be the patient's own choice? Those with the conviction that life regardless of its quality is preferable than death may choose to suffer (tho I think one really has to have had experience of prolonged contact with the terminally ills in hospices to really get a good idea of it. As an elf in Lord of the Rings says, 'Let those who have not seen night swear to walk in the dark (paraphrasing)'). However I don't think they should get to say that those who would choose to end their life and suffering on their own term are wrong. Whoever pays the price gets to choose the course, in my book. In this case if it turns out that DD did indeed ask Snape to kill him to protect others and for the greater cause, then I wouldn't hold grudge against Snape for DD's death (tho I still think him a
 git).
