True - I just expected bk7 to make it 'personal' = for us to hear about a particular instance, especially combined with anti-slytherin prejudice.
I heavily expected the death by auror of an innocent bystander - I won't go into the theory - it has now proven to not be where JKR was headed, but THIS explanation (that rebellion against authority is inherently 'good' - whether the authority is right or not) explains a great deal of why I was expecting the like.
Altho' I was expecting many shades of grey, JKR was thinning it back down to a limited few (mostly black and white, where even a little black could be done by the white, but it still stays white because it really is more about chaos and rebellion) -- Hwyla
