Spoiler: The villian Dumbledore's claim that he "may" have cast the killing blow is the most pathetic statement of all which he makes, the ultimate proof that for every second of his life he refused to face up to the murder of his sister which he knew he was guilty off. It is known that he would have examined his wand after the duel and have been able to tell if the killing curse came from it or not... if it had not he would say it had not. The fact he claims to be unsure is proof of his guilt. To me The sorrorocide is more contempable than even Voldemort in some ways. Voldemort certainly commits far greater crimes, but in a way at least he understands he is a monster. Dumbledore is the ultimate hypocrite, hiding behind lies and deception his great crime. I understand that he did not intentionally strike the killing blow... but he DID strike it, and he DID refuse to face up to his crime. By lying about it he condemns himself. His sister's innocent blood stains every other action of his life. He cannot clean his hands of it.
