Sweet mother of god! You are hitting all my literary loves. Have you read 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas' by Ursula Le Guin? It asks the same essential questions you are exploring in a similar fashion. And Harry stumbling toward a more pragmatic ethical view is fantastic; I love witnessing this development. And the horror! The image of the replicas morphing from child-like to murderous is fantastic and very creepy. I love the image of the fingers and ribs literally binding Draco to the maze. Thank you so much for sharing!
