Finwitch:

I don't know about this 'very bad thing' Harry will do-- I thought his
attempt of an 'unforgivable' at the end of OOP counts for one. Is he
going to successfully cast one in the next book or just lose control,
causing something like a house explosion, death of
Vernon/Marge/Dudley/someone else?

I think that - if there was any proper guardian - like Sirius - living
& figured out about Bellatrix-business, Harry would be in BIG trouble.
 Sirius (in case he didn't *really* die) might decide to let Harry
*see* the consequences by having Harry watch his memories of Azkaban
in a pensieve for example - while praising just about everything else
Harry did...
