better than Voldemort because he wanted "Hallows, not Horcruxes", and 
he never killed anyone if he didn't have to in his quest for 
immortality, the greater good, etc. I have been wracking my brain and 
going through the books, but I have not found any evidence that DD 
ever killed anyone (Arianna excepted). I had always assumed he had 
killed Grindelwald, but once it was revealed that Grindelwald was 
still alive, I have no other ideas. Is this just a reference to the 
fact that DD must have killed a Death Eater or two or some other dark 
Wizard in the course of his life or am I missing something.

  ***Katie:
  I assume that DD had to have killed his share of anonymous DE's in the course of his life. He's been a target and an enemy of Voldemort's since the beginning, and he also organized the OotP to fight him. As in the second war, which we get to see, the first war must have been bloody on both sides. I assume everyone involved did some killing, in duels and such. 
  That was my assumption about DD's killing people - just anonymous DE's - no one we had heard of.  Katie
