Aha! Bane! Yeah, Bane is an absolutely excellent example that shoots a hole right through my thesis in that regard. But I don't entirely buy Harvey's sense of betrayal, though.

As depicted here, it's hinted that he was already somewhat corrupt in the sense that he was going to bend/break the law to enforce justice, even as DA. The Judge himself says that he tried to help Harvey, but couldn't because of Harvey's "brand of justice." This could likely indicate that Harvey was already a guy with unstable ethics, and coupled with a persecution complex that blames multiple people for his own "murder," I feel that any sympathy or empathy in his character is lost under the weight of his own madness and hatred.

Don't get me wrong, I do like the idea of his Two-Face side being a complete and utter monster in this regard, capable of scenes like with the cop. But only when the coin comes up in his favor.
