I have to admit that when I read this, I had to leave my desk to take a bit of a walk because I was so angry. I guess that means you've managed to hit a nerve.
But maybe that's not a bad thing, that you're challenging us to think about what, exactly, we're doing here. I wish we were doing more, not to save just a person here or there, but to do something, something big that will take down this whole rotten regime. Well, not by committing mass murder. Or at least--
Hmm....if Voldemort had been killed on that day, what then? Would the whole miserable apparatus continue to grind on, enslaving people, and someone else equally as despicable would simply step into the Lord Protector's role? What could get this yoke off our backs once and for all?

I may need to go for another walk.
