Pippin:
Are you sure it wasn't Lupin? :) Seriously, Dumbledore was a schemer
and sometimes a coward, Lupin was a coward and sometimes a schemer,
Draco Malfoy was usually both. Those aren't what we  consider moral
behaviors.  But JKR makes it clear that they aren't enough to make
anyone a murderer. It takes something else: either a complete
disregard  for the value of human life and the integrity of one's own
soul, or some emotion so overpowering that it blinds the murderer to
what he is doing.
