It seems that he promised himself to stop trying to save everyone even if a minor character dies accidentally. In that case it wouldn’t matter if he considered himself directly responsible for the death of Rita Skeeter.
Indeed. I don’t see how he could manage not to compromise his ‘every human life is precious’ principle in a war. He’s hesitating between two possible courses of action—doing the math or playing Ghandi—and neither seems like a satisfying choice. He really needs to become omnipotent or at least avoid the necessity of making such a choice.
