Harry's murders of Non-humans! (Cold Days spoilers)

We don't know exactly who infected Cat Sith. Harry believes it to be Sharkface and He is probably right. But, it is also sensible that Harry's orders could be made in such a way as to place him in an unintended bind when it comes to the enemy.

I just got done reading Ender's Game and I think that Harry treated this interaction with the Sidhe much the way Ender handled his fight with Stillson.
(click to show/hide)“Knocking him down won the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones, too. So they’d leave me alone.”

Does this make it morally right? No, but Harry will be among the first to tell you that he isn't a hero. Look at how he dealt with Snake boy in the Hotel room in DM
I also wanted to address this comment. It wasn't a mortal that infected Cat Sith. We have yet to see a proven instance of a mortal being infected.

To be 100% certain (Playing it that way) the only 100% for sure infected being has been Cat Sidth.
If you relax your standards for proof, it opens up other possabilities.
Harry was told Nemesis was responsible for warping victor sells against his family (A loving father against his family). As well as all the other happenings in chicago.

Except when he's telling you that what he's doing is the right thing or something he has to do; self-awareness about doing problematic things is something Harry has only in a few and fairly extreme cases, and I am pretty sure that scenes like his realisation about what letting the world burn actually meant, in GS, indicates that this is something Jim is doing deliberately.

But he wasn't saying let the world burn because he didn't give a damn. He was saying if it would save his little girl he'd be willing to do it.. Very few parents would disagree with him. We get hung up of the welfare of the many outweigh the welfare of the few or the one, but that isn't what we practice.
vultur:
Given that we have an authorial voice statement (outside any possible unreliable narrative / bias that Harry may introduce) that some/all intelligent NN beings "aren't actual people" - no, I don't think we can really classify killing such a being, within the context of the Dresdenverse, as murder (even morally rather than legally).
That (the fact that there can be intelligent beings which are soulless and from a moral perspective "not people") is reality (EDIT: within the fictional context of) the Dresdenverse, even if it doesn't hold true in the real world.
