Mus responds:

By the same token, are we allowed to assume that Snape did not kill,
on the grounds that when he said "Only those I could not save", he
meant that he had been able to save all the potential victims.  In
that case, the only death that can be attributed to him is DD's
subsequent assisted dying.

No, that doesn't work either, does it?
