I did say that the unforgivables used by the "good guys" during the battle
scene were excusable. I still think so. As an example, if someone were to
come inside my house and threaten my possessions and myself, or my family, I
would be within my rights to draw a gun on them and even, if necessary use
it to defend myself. When I was in the military, a good friend of mine was
on duty when he was approached by a solitary figure. The figure did not call
out and was very obviously attempting to catch my friend goofing off.  What
they found when they got close enough was that they had a rifle barrel aimed
directly at them and a very alert soldier ready to fire if he did not
receive the correct password and did not halt his progress.

I do not mean that going outside the bounds of self-defense or defense of
others is exscusable, but I do not see that what any of the members of the
Order did went beyond those bounds.

JMHO
