I'm not sure if I liked the new version of 85 more than the old one.

Yeah - it's not so much the downer, that's fine, it's that I miss Harry's resolution. Hopefully that pops up later.

Probably not - there's just no room for anywhere to put it!

I think you did, though it's not exactly the same decision.

In this version, Harry didn't even wait for a bystander to die. He deliberately sacrificed Azkaban prisoners, some of which are innocent, in the name of higher probability of success. The decision is not very explicit, but he had decided to stop playing nice right away.
