Pretend? I would say that assumption that Harry was horrified that
he would become insane after knowing what he was tortured at
Graveyard and what happened to Longbottoms has more canon support
that he was not.

That is your right, but if your analysis reaches a conclusion that
Harry had an intent to hurt Draco beyond defending himself against
enemy, some people (me) would continue to disagree with that and I
do not think I should not do so as well.
