Carol responds:

I can't tell to whom you're responding or exactly what point you're
making, but you're certainly correct that Crabbe (shose "sheer dumb
luck" turned against him when he died from his own spell) had no idea
that he was destroying a Horcrux, or even the "diedum" that Harry was
(seemingly) trying to rescue. 

An intelligent, mature Wizard who know what he was doing, including
what a Horcrux is (had Crabbe known, he certainly wouldn't have
destroyed a piece of LV's soul), and who intended to destroy the
Horcrux, was most unlikely to use Fiend-Fyre. I'm not sure that even
the living Dumbledore could have controlled it.

Carol, hoping that Bruce will clarify the point he was making in
relation to the larger argument
