Good point about the difference between the two generations - there's really a much better reason for making exceptions for Harry than there ever was for any of the Marauders. Or there would be, if I weren't completely convinced that most of this special treatment is counter-productive in the long term.
And as for the "Dark Arts" - I wish that were more than just a nifty expression to label someone as "evil"! Whatever they may be, there must be more to it than "he uses them because he's evil, and he's evil because he uses them", which is about all we have at this point.
