My point is that Harry's beliefs are dumb(getting better, but still dumb), and therefore the conclusions that he draws from those beliefs are silly and poor.
That said, a thought occurs. Doe the True Patronus work for someone willing to do murder(even if it's to save net lives)?
Hmm, if not, then there's mutual exclusivity between some Dark Wizard and Light Wizard abilities.
You can cast a Horcrux, OR a True Patronus, but not both. Interestingly, both are ways of avoiding encounters with death.
