Oh, I agree that Harry should not be charged. If anything he deserves 
praise that even being in such pain and raging at Bella he did not 
have enough hate to cast the right Crucio. If he was unable to do it 
now, I don't think he ever will.

I wonder though will we see any of the "good guys" casting an 
unforgivable in the future.
