Really - If you're going to be evil, at least have the decency to 
carry it off with a bit of style!

I'd sentence him to twelve years in Azkaban for starters.  Then he 
and Sirius could compare notes on what it was like, and perhaps 
provide some enterprising wizard psychiatrist two interesting case 
studies.  I'm sure the Ministry could fix up some sort of cell that 
would hold a known Animagus.  Of course, there's the small matter of 
Cedric's death.  In the wizard world that surely deserves the Kiss.
