Finwitch:

Yes. In all cases - Harry vs. Dursleys, Dobby vs. Malfoys - It is 
good for a person to abandon family for his own perception of what's 
right. 

While some may argue about Percy doing practically the same - it's 
not that. Percy didn't have his *own* perception. He was merely 
oblidging Crouch/Fudge/Scrimgeour - simply work over family. Not good.

As for Kreacher, he was holding Black-views despite the one survivor 
of that family being against them...

Anyway, Albus Dumbledore is the example of a highly moral person in 
Potterverse. I'll be waiting to see how Aberforth turns out... 
hopefully he IS in the 7th book...
