However, I think he will remain quiet: otherwise he
will be betraying Sirius. And not only is it easier to
control oneself when one gets older, Harry
demonstrated he can control himself when necessary (if
nothing else, living with the Dursleys would have
taught him that). Harry is reckless to *personal*
consequences when someone bashes his parents (e.g.
going for Sirius even though he is much smaller than
SB and Sirius is supposed to be an unhinged murderer,
or going for Aunt Marge even though that would get
Dursleys after him as never before). I don't recall
him endangering anyone else with these outbursts. Lily
and James are dead, they won't be endangered, but
Sirius is alive, and very much will be.
