Alla:

I am sorry and no offense to you as well, but you keep calling it 
unathorised dueling. I call it self defense and I do not remember 
where in canon it says that student is forbidden to defend himself 
from Unforgivable curse.

Should Harry have just taken the Crucio and maybe become insane?

And yes, I believe that no matter who it would have been, no 
punishment should have been followed **at all**.

I also believe that it would not have been attempted murder even if 
Draco would have bleed to death.

Harry knows what it is to be tortured by Crucio. I think that he 
fully expected to relive minigraveyard, or something like that.

Alla:

I do not see the major difference, only small one. If Harry did not 
do anything, he would have run a chance of becoming insane of 
consequences of Crucio.

And in your imaginary scenario instead of being acknowledged as self 
defense, he would have been **framed** for attempted murder.

I wonder, do you think Malfoy should have been send to Azkaban for 
attempted murder when he scared Harry as dementor with his goons?

After all he knew how badly Harry reacted on the train, so I think 
he had enough brains to figure out that Harry had a high chance to 
fall down from his broom and maybe die?

JMO,

Alla.

Alla,

goes to slam her fingers and hard.
