Pippin:
I think Harry used the spell because he was losing the fight, not because
he was threatened with insanity. Otherwise it doesn't make sense that
he wouldn't have used the spell on Malfoy if he'd known what it did.
Or are you saying that Harry meant he would rather have risked
insanity than used that spell?

Pippin:
Indifference and neglect towards his fellow wizards,
who have agreed that unapproved spells should not be in
the hands of any wizard, much less an underaged school child.
I would hate for anyone to think it is okay for kids to bring
weapons to school because there's a possibility they might be
attacked.
