ET:

I think, from Harry's point of view, the Prince has done him nothing 
but great until the episode with Draco. Harry needed help in potions 
& the Prince gave him what he needed to succeed.  I think this built 
up an element of trust in Harry for the prince's advice.

ET:
Yes, it's true that Harry looked death in the face, (i.e. thought he 
might have killed Draco), during that horrible time before Snape 
arrived, but I was really just giving my opinion regarding the 
question that was asked about why Harry was able to go on so 
readily/easily  to worry about the Quiddich match.   I think it was 
because between Snape's comments & Draco being able to walk to the 
hospital with support (as opposed to having to be transported 
there),  Harry found reassurance that Draco was o.k.  I do think 
Harry continues to feel badly, but also that he's learned a valuable 
lesson.  He can't stop living because he's made a mistake, no matter 
how serious it was.....

That doesn't really apply to the question of whether he's a murderer 
(or has it in him to be one).  I think the element of his trust for 
the prince does apply, however.

If someone you trust gives you advice, are you guilty for taking it?
