I wouldn't have even been tempted to return that potions book, even if
I thought it was wrong to use it (and I don't) I still would have used
it, And when push came to shove I don't believe many real life flesh
and blood human beings would be saintly enough to act much
differently. But for the sake of argument let's assume I'm wrong and
it was immoral; was it worse than murder? There has been far far more
criticism of Harry over this than there has been criticism of Snape
for murdering Dumbledore, and that's what I meant about Snape getting
a free pass.
