Carol:
 And as I don't believe in an eye
> for an eye, I see it as wrong for Harry to stoop to their level.)

Jack-A-Roe:
Some people do see an eye for an eye. (Sometimes I see it that way 
myself).

I still think part of it is the day Harry's had and is having. 
Breaking into Gringotts, losing the sword, escaping on a dragon, 
dementors in Hogsmeade, the truth about Dumbledore as told by his 
brother, finding out whats been happening to his friends, trying to 
talk them out of staging a battle, trying to figure out where the 
horcurx is, knowing that Voldemort is on the way....

I think the plan to blame it on the innocent Ravenclaws and the 
spitting were just the final straw.

If Harry had cast Sectumsempra would it have been better because it 
wasn't an unforgivable? Amycus would have bled to death and Harry 
would have killed someone.

I have no problem with the curse Harry chose. Maybe later, a day or 
two and he would have time to reflect on it. Since we don't see it, 
we can't say that he did or he didn't.


Carol:
 I'm sure that Hannah Abbott, whose mother was
> murdered in HBP, shows up somewhere, possibly in the Battle of
> Hogwarts. Can someone refresh my memory?)

Jack-A-Roe:
Hannah is there at the battle. Harry casts a shield charm on her and 
Seamus as the battle moves into the great hall (pg 734, US edition)

> Carol:
> And how does Luna resist the Carrows? She *Stuns* Alecto! 

Jack-A-Roe:
Well considering that Luna has never tried to Crucio someone, but has 
learned to stun people it makes sense that she would go with the 
strongest curse she knew how to perform.
