Pippin:
But Harry doesn't *know* that Draco is trying to kill him. In fact Harry
says himself, at least twice, that if he'd  known what the spell did, he 
wouldn't have used it on Malfoy. He does use it, later, on the Inferi 
he knows are trying to kill him, and on Snape whom he believes has 
just killed Dumbledore. So I can't see why we shouldn't think Draco 
is the victim of Harry's reckless use of force as well as his own 
aggression when Harry himself thinks so. As Dumbledore says,
indifference and neglect often do more damage than outright
dislike, and this is a perfect example.
