Harry has not been taught AK, nor he will ever be in Hogwarts, since 
its use in humans is forbidden. How would he kill Sirius, then? The 
question has been put up before, and there are many answers. Some 
believe that Harry was just bluffing (to himself), and he couldn't do 
magic to kill Sirius. He may have tried to strangulate him, but he 
couldn't use *magic*. 

Others (me included) believe that intelligent use of the spells he 
already knows could have had the desired state (then again, 
"intelligent" use of a chair will also kill someone. Or really, any 
other object with the possible exception of goldfish). 

How? Well, "accio heart" is gruesome, but if it can be done, can be 
very effective. Or you can Expelliarmus/Wingadium Leviosa his clothes, 
effectively throwing him around the room until he's knocked out. Or 
burn his clothes. Or engorgio his throat/tongue (those sweets the twins 
create are VERY dangerous) until he dies from lack of air. Or... should 
I continue? (I can probably can find a way to use any spell to have 
dangerous consecuences to a human being, but not all of them could be 
applied to the shack scene)

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf, always finding new ways by which to use old spells. If you 
played D&D, you understand why (so many spells, so little memory).
