Magpie:
Because why would people make moral decisions based on what fictional people think? I agree every thing happens in context. I don't think every act done in HP is justified by the context. The fact that a circumstance is unusual or the person uses restraint when they hit the torture button doesn't necessarily make it admirable or not troubling. Maybe it's forgivable, but that doesn't really mean somebody's necessarily going to approve of what was done in the fictional story as a good thing. When you start saying things are "technically unforgivables but..." that doesn't sound like a way I want to think about them. And that's not because I would never be okay with a character using an unforgivable.
