Yes, Harry got in trouble for attacking Draco with Sectumsempra in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, receiving detention with Snape every Saturday until the term ended, though some argue it was a light punishment considering the severity of the curse. While Professor McGonagall thought he was lucky not to be expelled, Snape kept it relatively quiet, possibly to hide his own role in creating the spell from the Half-Blood Prince's textbook, notes Reddit users and a Harry Potter Wiki editor.
Although Harry was justifiably defending himself against Malfoy, who was about to cast the Cruciatus Curse, using an unknown spell was dangerous and reckless. However, despite this grievous action that could have permanently expelled him from Hogwarts, Snape only assigns Harry detention.
So it's also a matter of personal reputation for him, which was why he didn't punish them outright. He would rather appear as a hero in front of the Minister for fighting back a werewolf and apprehending a dangerous loose criminal, than punish children when they were so weak and injured.
Despite the use of the curses being said to carry an automatic life sentence in Azkaban, Harry was apparently not punished in any way for using them (although except for two times, they were legal as he cast them during the regime of Lord Voldemort, and as for the other two times, there are no known witnesses).
If Harry killed Draco with Sectumsempra, then Snape, McGonagall, and all the other teachers would want to expel him and turn him over to the Ministry. Dumbledore, knowing Harry is the Chosen One who needs to defeat Voldemort, would strongly resist that.
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans cite different characters, but Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Snape are consistently named among the most heartbreaking due to their profound loyalty, tragic lives, or sudden, impactful losses, with Dobby's selfless sacrifice often topping lists for his pure heart and newfound freedom, and Fred's death devastating his twin George and family, notes Quora and Facebook users https://www.facebook.com/groups/309399756202202/posts/2389613828180774, and Reddit.
It's not a common spell. Snape made it up. It was most definitely not Ministry approved. Because it isn't part of the 3 Unforgivable Curses.
Avada Kedavra does affect phoenixes, but does not kill them - instead, it causes their existing body to burst into flames and be reborn. Avada Kedavra does not kill a phoenix, since when their body 'dies', they are reborn from the ashes.

The Malfoy's were billionaires and Harry was a millionaire. According to J.K. Rowling , Harry's net worth comes around to 319,995 galleons, which would work out to an amount of roughly 2.6 million dollars.
By saying "Severus... please" Dumbledore was able to subtly signal to Snape that he was ready. Also, you have to remember that Snape was feeling slightly apprehensive about killing Dumbledore. So in a way, Dumbledore was actually pleading with Snape, only it was for the total opposite reason the Death Eaters though.
He didn't need to process what happened, the sight of death processes itself subconsciously. Just seeing death alone isn't enough to see thestrals. You also have to process the death. That's why Harry didn't see them until the beginning of order of the Phoenix.
Once snape realized this he said out of context “but he thinks it's her son.” Another way to say this more completely would be “I told Voldemort about the prophecy and I would be ok with whatever he decided to do, but HE THINKS ITS LILY'S SON HARRY and now he's going to kill the whole family and more importantly Lily ...
To Harry Potter, Draco was a rather spineless brat and just like his father, a death eather and someone that was bound to become rather dangerous eventually. But most of the time Draco also seemed more misunderstood through his angry actions, as if he never received much love by his father in the first place.
Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore, and this was why the spell was blue instead of the usual green. Because it was a mercy killing, not a cold blooded murder.

He trusted snape because snape had proven himself many times before. Voldemort took anyone that was magical and had his own ideas in common during his first crusade.
In Harry Potter, the "Three D's" are the essential principles for successful Apparition (magical teleportation): Destination, Determination, and Deliberation, taught by Ministry instructor Wilkie Twycross to avoid "splinching" (leaving body parts behind). You must firmly visualize your Destination, have the unwavering Determination to reach it, and then move with focused Deliberation, without haste, to arrive safely, notes the Harry Potter Wiki and Harry Potter Lexicon.
