Is it moral relativism to think that words like, horrified, repulsed,
appalled and disgusted are better used describing the torture of a
child  than an overdue library book?

I don't believe I said that. I believe I said some things are bad,
some things are very bad, some things are naughty, and some things are
not bad at all.

Harry was defending himself from an unprovoked attack by somebody who
was about to use an Unforgivable Curse on him. Although I have more
sympathy for Draco than I have ever had before,  yes, I'd have to give
Harry a pass even it he had killed him. It was pure self defense.

And I rather wish he hadn't, if Draco had died Dumbledore would have
lived. As I say, I do have some compassion for Draco, but if I had to
make a choice between him and Dumbledore it's no contest.
