Exactly, Susan.

Alla:

Actually, Del, I hope never to get into fight with you :o), but I 
won't expect you to control your impulses when your loved one was 
just killed in front of you. (May such thing never ever happen to 
you).


I will not even expect even Tom to do so at the heat of the moment. I 
expect him to control his rages when he calmed down.

And yes, I agree with Susan the fact that Harry did not have enough 
hate even at such moment to crucio Bella speaks volumes to me. His 
Crucio did not work for a reason, you know, not by accident.

Alla: Well, such person as you describe should be put into 
psychiatric clinic and never EVER allowed to leave it, IMO. Of course 
such person cannot control anything.
