How is Harry cowardly? He has a job to do. Destroying the horcruxes 
before Voldemort finds out. Short of randomly killing people, he can 
pretty much do what he wants and I'll back him up on it.

Bill has already warned him that he can't trust the goblins. He needs 
the help of a Goblin to get in to the vault. So he lies to Griphook, 
someone who he believes is going to lie & double cross him. I don't 
have any problem with this. I think that this would be one of the 
times that the end justifies the means.
