Tell your sons that even detention was unjustly severe. Harry was the
victim of an unprovoked attack by Draco with an Unforgivable Curse,
Harry would have been entirely justified if he'd killed Draco when he
was defending himself. In fact I wish Harry had killed Draco, then
Dumbledore would still be alive.

Because the ministry never knew about it, and even if they had they
probably would have done nothing because soon after Harry cast that
curse at the end of book 5 Harry was back in the ministry's favor. If
the Ministry doesn't like you they'll try to put you in Azkaban for
spitting on the sidewalk, if they do like you then you can literally
get away with murder. 

By the way, do your sons ask why Draco was not sent to Azkaban for
using an Unforgivable Curse and for at least 3 counts of attempted
murder?
