* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' gives a whole speech to this effect prior to the climax of the [[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Philosopher's Stone (novel)|first book]].
{{quote|"If Snape gets hold of the Stone, Voldemort's coming back! Haven't you heard what it was like when he was trying to take over? There won't be any Hogwarts to get expelled from! He'll flatten it, or [[Foreshadowing|turn it into a school for the Dark Arts]]! Losing points doesn't matter anymore, can't you see? D'you think he'll leave you and your families alone if Gryffindor wins the House Cup?"}}
** During the whole saga, Harry often breaks the rules to do what's right, to the extreme of {{spoiler|robbing a bank, as well as using Unforgiveable Curses,}} in ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]''.
*** Although his use of some of the Unforgiveables can be debatable.
*** The first time he tried one (Cruciatus Curse), he was in extreme rage because Bellatrix {{spoiler|killed Sirius}}. The second time (Imperius Curse), he uses it because it's crucial for him to defeat Voldemort. The third time (Cruciatus Curse again) is the only really questionable instance. Of course, what Amycus Carrow did was pretty despicable, but Harry could have just used ''Petrificus Totalus'' instead.
