SF, two things:
Accident != Murder. Dumbledore was not a murderer. It's reasonable to believe that he accidentally killed his sister. It's not reasonable to believe that he murdered her.
I'm still not seeing the immense importance of an absent confession. Far more important than confession is penance, and Dumbledore did spend most of his life in opposition to the greatest evil in the magical world. Yes, he threw Snape to the wolves, but Snape himself was a man in need of repentance and Dumbledore provided him with such an opportunity. Despite Snape's untimely death and Dumbledore's hallows foolishness, both proved instrumental in the downfall of Voldemort.
I'll take that over the magic two words anyday.
