Yes, circumstances (and the immediate emotional overload of beloved people dying) have prevented Harry from examining his own actions to the degree that Draco was forced to do. Draco was doing some bad stuff, but he didn't stop to really think until he had done something really bad (let Fenrir Greyback into Hogwarts) and was about to do worse.
Harry may not have to perform an evil deed in order to be able to understand redemption. He's not far down Draco's path at all, but he does, like Luke Skywalker, choose the path of anger far too quickly. I think if Harry could understand that someone can do bad things and then still choose good, he would understand.
Harry is going to have to shake up his black vs white worldview in order to succeed in his quest. If RAB is Regulus - or, indeed, any Death Eater - that should be a warning to him that he needs to think about his snap(e!) judgements.
