I think Stan has a blank look about him, and Harry guesses he has been
imperiused. Since Voldemort has taken control of Azkaban and released
his Death Eaters, he seems to have released a few more extra people
who were there and placed them under the imperius curse to do his
biding.

That's why Harry doesn't try to hurt him, just disarms him, because he
knows that Stan is not in control of his actions and doesn't deserve
to die.
