As I have been saying, Bruce came to that conclusion without any prompting from me (he read the book after I did, and I don't burden him with my fannish proclivities), so I have the feeling that it's the reading (that the murderer was doing what the murderee wanted) that Rowling intends. I certainly hope so. I wouldn't like the series half as much if what I consider the best lesson therein (don't let your prejudices color your actions) is undercut by a "ha ha, this person was EXACTLY what he was thought all along"....
