Did Harry ever give serious thought to whether his strong desire to never be responsible for a death actually makes sense when he's going to have to deal with violent situations?

Chapter 85. And arguably his scenes with Dumbledore regarding "the phoenix's price."

Well, it seems to be axiomatic. It's not a matter of "being responsible for a death" so much as "death is bad." Even in a violent situation, the ideal is to save everyone's life.

As he then says, though, if you can't save everyone, you have no right playing batman.
