Well, if it comes to that I believe there is no such thing as 
killing for the Greater Good sake from the truly Christian point of 
view, is there? Christ said in no uncertain terms that, "Whosoever 
therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall 
teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of 
heaven". Of course, there is and always has been a certain disparity 
between the Christians'  Moral Absolutes and their everyday life  
but that's again the difference between the morality and necessity. 

As for Draco looking for the biggest bully, why should he? He is not 
in the least like Wormtail.
