Also, many parents in the holocaust were forced to either leave there children or die. Many were forced to sacrifce themselves for their significant other or watch them both die.

A muggle might walk into the gas chamber willingly to save his/her spouses life but the harry potter verse never deals with “how much consent is consent”.
