Yeah, in the fanfiction he could have casted it due to his connection to Voldemort (it stained him in a more profound way than in the original books). There is a lot in the book that doesn't work, but the point of the story is to actually think and question what happens, and not simply explain it away with "it's magic".
It does have HORRIBLY tropey fanfiction tier things in it tough, like Harry being 10x times as powerful as he should be in the book (cause he UNDERSTANDS more).
I prefer to view it as a matter of wille not macht.
Curses aren't firearms. There's no such thing as a misfire. You can say the words all day and nothing will fucking happen without the intent. The macht gives it the potential to work, but only the wille can realize that potential.
He would have died in the firefight in the Ministry.
The Harry that could make Crucio work on Bellatrix is a Harry that just lost his entire family in one go.
"You have to mean it, Harry."
