I don't believe he was programmed to be a weapon as much created, born.  Justin wanted to create a Thrall, and based on Morgan's journal it appears he could become a vessel of some kind for Nemesis, but I don't think he was programmed as described.  I think he's a weapon by creation who has the potential to fight evil, or to be a force of it.

That's the one.

As a fictional world view that leaves me a little cold.  If it isn't going to resolve into to some type of redemption arc then it would seem to be merely torture porn. I don't need that.

I think it's more about stopping before he "went too far." Sanya is willing to sacrifice his body to prevent Harry from murdering Rudolph. I also think Harry is going to have to do more than just feel remorse. We know he's going to do that more than anyone would like. He does it to the point of being overscrupulous. He has to be a good person in addition, which he mostly is.

Yes, and that is what Butters reminded him of after the Sword burn brought him back to his senses.  Both Sanya and Butters realize and understand that in that moment Harry simply lost it.  I believe that as you say we will need to see more than just remorse, I think in the future Harry will have to work on emotional control even harder.  Kind of a Star Wars Jedi thing, when one lets one's emotions get out of control it is easy to go down the dark side..

Dina:
Yes, and we know JB likes Star Wars. Still, even for siths there is a chance of redemption.
