Jen:  Correcting myself here because I messed up something pretty big. 
I didn't mean to say Voldemort was right and Dumbledore et. al. are 
simply more right, lol. 

I was trying to explain that I don't see Harry or anyone connected to 
Dumbledore as the moral arbiters of justice in the WW.  It's more that 
they appear to be further along the path of what a just society looks 
like and how people should act in such a society rather than some of 
those they oppose, people/creatures who aren't followers of Voldemort 
but also not supportive of Dumbledore.  

Jen, noting this explanation takes place out of context from her 
initial post and is better read after the first one.
