I think of it as self-defense.  Quirrel was trying to kill Harry, and 
Harry was justified in "touching" Quirrel and defending himself.  
There was no self-defense justification re Pettigrew, though, so 
Harry would have been implicated in murder had he not spared 
Pettigrew.

Actually, I thought Harry got his injuries from the flying keys.
