I don't see why you say that, it seemed to work just fine. One of
Harry's greatest strengths is that he seems to know instinctively what
to do in a emergency situation when there is no time to think about
it. Harry did precisely the right thing, and it's an injustice he was
punished for it.

Yes, but you almost make it sound like that's something you don't want
to see in a literary hero.

Exactly, and I will be very surprised it he doesn't use it again in
the last book.

According to the law he deserves to go to Azkaban for the rest of his
life.

>Does he deserve to die from it? Sorry, no

If someone is shooting a gun at me the well being of my attacker would
be the very last thing on my mind. All I'd be interested in is
stopping him, and if that involved blowing his head off before he got
a chance to blow off mine then so be it. I mean, would you really
enjoy reading about the further adventures of Mr. Politically Correct?

I don't understand why everybody is supercritical of every little
thing Harry does but when Snape does things that are absolutely
outrageous he gets a free pass.
