1. While I had forgotten the exact details, according to Quickipedia:
In 1994, he began to publicly denounce the American Wizarding Confederation and Governor-General Elias Hucksteen in particular, and lent aid to accused members of the Dark Convention. He ultimately came under suspicion when he traveled to Britain in 1995, allegedly to meet with Lord Voldemort; a warrant was issued for his arrest and his property was seized, but he eluded capture.
Issuing a warrant for someone's arrest is not "extra-legal," it is perfectly legal. Perhaps Abraham was afraid his trial would be politicized. It's still way overstating things to say that he was "forced into" violence. He chose it.
2. Not only is your only piece of evidence that it was a swarm of owls, a spell I assume most if not all high-level wizards can cast, but you're also attributing a near-superhuman level of foresight to Diana. You may be right, of course, but I see no reason to treat your theory as anything more than a hypothesis.
