I'd say yes, because he certainly isn't beyond asking outrageous
things from people. See Harry. As I said I believe DD is pretty
ruthless when it comes to achieving his goal.

Of course what redeems him is that he is aware of the weight of what
he asks, and that he does feel guilt over his own ruthlessness -
that's why Harry forgiving him was so important to him in the King
Cross scene in DH.
