As for the moral high ground, you're right. It looks like Rachel made a call that a chance to kill Dolohov is something not to be passed up. As for the rest, they continue to not have Harry's or Neville's remains and never will, so I agree that doesn't seem to have been part of Rachel's equation. A chance to kill Dolohov appears to have been weighed not in relation to morality but to military objective: killing Dolohov could bring them a step closer to ending the war.
... so basically the only reason the Order hasn't now violated that agreement made by the healers/morticians is that the remains were never gotten into the hands of morticians in the first place.
Which isn't the Order's fault, per se, but was the upshot of the Order's decisions.

You have just made me worry that there is something horrible going to happen with Charlie and that it has to do with whatever surprise Ptolemy Baddock has for Ginny tonight.
I was worried about that too, but I'm hoping that he'd be an important enough person to be interrogated by Bellatrix (and so we'd hear about it) and/or Poppy's contact at St. M's could have given her notice by now. I hope.
