So, it isn't abuse if the child mishaved? No matter how severe the 
action is? 

OK, OK, I laughed too. But it is a slippery slope. It gets back to the 
fact that this is fiction and it's OK to feel good about the bad guy 
getting it. In real life, the bad good deserves the same treatment as 
the good guy.

I don't think the real Mad-Eye would have bounced Draco.

The real Fred might have....
