I seem to think that the ends DO NOT always justify the means.
Both Voldemort and Dumbledore disagreed.

I agree, 100% that Dumbledore did not intentionally kill his sister. He did not commit PRE-MEDITATED murder in this case.
And I 100% believe he struck the killing blow, that he knew that he did it, and he did not face up to the truth or admit that her blood was on his hands. His crime is more than anything refusing to face what he did.
It would have been easy for Harry to leave Dudley to the dementors... he did not. It was hard for Dumbledore to face his guilt... and so he did not.
I judge the two of them thusly.
