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...
