I think that,given the circumstances, Harry's use of the Cruciatus 
curse is not going to be punished, nor is it out of character. Bella 
had just killed Sirius, and Harry was trying to avenge that death. 
Sirius was the nearest thing to a parent Harry had known, and she had 
stolen that from him. (*sob*) 
With all the fighting going on in the DoM, it's unlikely that Harry 
would be punished, especially since he was fighting a DE. 
I'm glad it didn't work though, it shows that Harry is still learning 
and that even in his hatred, he is not evil enough to be like a DE.
