Assuming Harry wouldn't willingly be talking to Percy, Fudge or 
Umbridge about his fight with Bellatrix, then there are multiple 
people he could safely discuss the incident with: Hermione, Ron, 
Ginny, Dumbledore, perhaps Lupin or Arthur. He doesn't have a track 
record of keeping secrets from R/H for very long(the contents of the 
prophecy remain to be seen), and DD has an uncanny ability to 
encourage Harry to discuss his burdens (the sorting hat considering 
him for Slytherin). All of the above people know about instances of 
rule-breaking and/or law-breaking by Harry and haven't turned traitor 
(yet anyway). So, I still believe there's a good chance Harry will 
confide the "crucio" to someone.  Jen
