I’d say Harry would trade with Lucius—Harry would testify under Veritaserum that Dumbledore confesed to Him, that he burned Narcissa. In exchange Lucius would let Hermione free.
Harry don’t know if Dumbledore burned Narcissa, but probably can beat Veritaserum (according to Quirell), and with his evil side enabled he can risk trying it.
Similiar to “make Dumbledore turn himself in”, but Dumbledore had chance to do that, and declined, and I don’t know if Harry can blackmail Dumbledore serioulsy enough for this. But Harry don’t need to blackmail Dumbledore.

I assign 0.3 probability to my post from 23 March 2012 10:19:07PM.
0.2 to Harry going back in time and rescuing Hermione with time turner.
0.5 to Harry doing something nobody predicted yet :)
