Ok, let's see. When LV 'acts', he HURTS people. 
When Draco 'acts' the way he was raised, by which I take you mean 
his bigoted worldview, he HURTS people.
When Wizards 'take over' weaker Muggles, they HURT those Muggles.

All those examples have VICTIMS. All can in one way or another be 
considered crimes.

I believe that's what Miles meant when he mentioned 
the 'limitations'.

Now, please do elaborate how your examples compare to consenting 
adults entering into a relationship based on love and/or mutual 
sexual attraction. Yes? Who's the victim? Where's the crime?
