A lot of people have a hard time empathizing with the suffering of others in the abstract, and it only becomes "real" to them when it touches someone in their own lives. That speaks to a fairly rudimentary level of moral reasoning, but to be perfectly honest, it's a level that very many people never make it past. Often, though, when that suffering does touch someone they care about, they realize that the harmful thing actually IS a universal moral wrong -- they just couldn't see it until they were served up a personally-relevant object lesson. So I'm not sure it's fair to characterize his motives as "quitting for Lily," even though what happened to her was the catalyst. (It's been more than five years since I read the books, though, so if there was a specific line or passage you're thinking of that says otherwise, I could be mistaken.)

Except there's no real indication of him finding the Death Eaters' morality to be wrong, so much as him mostly wanting to bring down Voldemort, arguably out of revenge. The closest is when he snaps at Phineas Nigellus not to use the word Mudblood, and even that can be chalked down as it being the word that lost him Lily.

This. There's no indication he did anything 'good' for any reason other than Lily and even that was a fucked up selfish sort of love as he still treated her son like shit.
