I disagree. Harry didn't torture; he turned out not to have it in him
to torture Bellatrix.  He only had righteous anger in him, as even
Bellatrix realized. For this he should be exposed to a life sentence
in Azkaban? That would be turning good and evil on its head.

I agree with you Jim. I think the point of this scene was to let the 
readers know more about how the unforgivable curses work. It is a 
clue from JKR to tell her readers that only a certain kind of 
personality is capable of casting them. I'm wondering if Lily's 
sacrifice somehow protects Harry's soul? Could a little bit of Lily's 
soul be inside of Harry?
