Pippin:
Oh, I think they're denouncing already, some of them on this very list <g>.Take 
Dumbledore's disconcerting habit of ruthlessly laying almost unbearable burdens on his 
friends and allies, even children,  while bending over backwards to show consideration to his 
enemies. Is this a mistake in Rowling's eyes? Or is it, in fact, the  way she thinks moral people 
ought to act? Will she not show us this by having Harry realize he needs to do the same? Ohh, 
I can hear the howls already. How *could* she?
