"Further, how little reaction it illicited either from Harry himself or 
from McGonagall, who actually called an Unforgivable Curse "gallant",

wonders for the good guys to display at least a little moral distaste 
for the actions they felt forced to perform. The lack of any sort of 
moral discomfiture was probably the most disturbing part of the incident.

Do you honestly think that this was the first time that Carrow had done
something like that, with Mc.G. forced to look on helpless to do anything about

him struck down and the opportunity to get a little of her own back.
There is an old Rabbinical saying: "Do not let the best become the enemy of the
good."  Many who would jump on any moral lapse by those designated as heroes
would remember that.

transport grow daily more nightmarish.  Only the bicycle remains pure in
heart."--Iris Murdoch
