To add a bit of Indian perspective to the mix:Gandhi's decision to stick to non-violence and oppose untouchability. Had he preached violent ways, or had the extremists freedom fighters gained more popularity than Gandhi then India, being as diverse that it is, would have been split into micro-nations and would have suffered the same fate as the African micro-nations-- war, civil unrest, racial discrimination, power struggle, dictatorship etc. South Asia would have been a contender for the worst region on earth.Ashoka The Great's decision to give up war. This has epitomized the way Indian politics has shaped out. The constitution is heavily affected by the ideals King Ashoka followed back in his days. Heck, the Ashoka Chakra (the wheel) has a place on the center of the Indian national flag.

Here the narrative logic suggests that the hero of the scene — Ron — should be the one to destroy the Horcrux.That’s the in-universe reason.There are some good reasons for doing it this way from JK Rowling’s storytelling point of view.First of all, the Horcrux was the reason that Ron left. In order for him to earn his way back into the Trio, he needs to destroy it.Also, part of the point of the last book of the series — and possibly the whole series — is that Harry doesn’t have to do it all himself.
