Aron was right at the center of the worst crime scene in Jewish history. He was personally involved in creating the weapon. Yet, he does not loose his priesthood as the Bichorim (- first born) did for their involvement in the crime. The Rabbi’s offer every possible interpretation to exonerate him.
Perhaps the reason Aaron is treated with so much love and care is because of the way he treated other people. If he saw others sinning he would always look to put a positive spin on the action. He, therefore, deserves we do the same for him.
I am not sure if this is a great answer, but it is consistent with the idea of "measure for measure".

Interesting point. But is it true? IOW did Aharon do nothing (terribly)wrong that's why he's still a Kohen. Or the opposite like you wrote?
What is truth? A Limud Zechus is true. My point is that we Aron is deserving for us to work extra hard to discover the truth. As he would do the same for us.
