Hmm, well the way I see it JKR simply didn't take the time to show every minute spell cast by the wand.  Just the main ones, I do think Harry's Cruciatus Curse is in there.  The first thing it says after the bead of light connected is "At once, Voldemort's wand began to emit echoing screams of pain."  I don't think there would be a distinction between each time Voldemort put the Cruciatus curse on Harry, since screams is plural there's no way to know how many screams.  The very next thing to come out was Wormtail's hand, then more screams (DE's Cruciatus curse).

I'm actually wondering if perhaps the letter is hidden under that creaky stair.  And maybe, just maybe, Harry finds it.  And asks Dumbledore about it when he gets back to Hogwarts.  Which leads Dumbledore to say he's going to tell him everything and so on.  (And he better NOT get interrupted!)
