Zara:
What does this have to do with Pippin's point? Moral courage is not 
doing things because your friends tell you to. You may think Lily is 
obviously a font of moral authority, but I see no reason to suppose 
that Severus did. (In fact, I see reasons to suppose that he did not, 
his apparent perception of a double standard on her part, for one). 
However, it seems evident that even while not agreeing with her on this 
point, he himself felt that it was wrong to call his best friend a 
Mudblood. Which is why he apologized to her.
