me, holly:
thank you for your good words! As for what I believe about the 
Cruciatus curse that Harry tried to use, well, it takes to lose a 
loved one in an unjust way to understand how Harry felt that way and 
why he reacted like this. He wanted desperately to show how lost and 
mad he was about Sirius's death. That does not mean he could do it, 
besides, you have the answer right there, from Bellatrix's 
lips : "You have to really want to cause pain, to enjoy it,righteous 
anger won't hurt me for long" etc. Harry did bot want to cause pain, 
he only wanted to get rid of his own painf for loss of Sirius. That 
is what I think about this circumstance, anyway.
