Pippin:
She showed there was one positive effect of Snape having taken the vow. If he 
had not been watching over Draco, Harry might have had Draco's death on his 
soul, perhaps as a murder but at least as a consequence of his own folly. 
That Harry might need to kill in the future does not mean he needs to do
live ammo exercises on a fellow student.

Nor would the invasion of the castle and Dumbledore's subsequent 
death have been prevented thereby. Draco is surely not the only person who
could have repaired the vanishing cabinet and admitted DE's into the
castle.
