Alla:

My bad, I thought I was clear - this is the trouble with RL 
analogies. They are only helpful sort of.
Harry knows that he can became insane from Cruciatus, not dead. I do 
not see how it 
is much difference though.

Sure, Harry later uses the spell when he knows what the spell does. 

And I cannot tell anybody what to think LOL, I can only say what I 
think.

And indifference and neglect? Of whom? Of somebody who throws Crucio 
at 
you? I do not see how DD's quote is applicable, sorry.
