SSSusan:
For clarification's sake, are you suggesting that it might be worse to 
kill the soul bits than to kill Voldy himself?  Or are you wondering 
why it is that people seem to be concerned that Harry might end up a 
killer (by doing in Voldy in the end), but they don't seem concerned 
about his setting off to destroy soul bits?

Assuming it's the latter question, I'll toss this out... and it may 
very well seem like a stupid answer, but....  I guess in my mind, when 
a person creates a horcrux, he has *already* sacrificed that part of 
his own soul.  He doesn't CARE!  So, yes, I agree with you that it's 
apparently something *viable,* but if it's already been sacrificed and 
cast off, in a sense, by its owner, should Harry or DD be concerned 
about destroying those bits?
