Harry's not on the hook. The wording of the document is "exonerate House Malfoy of any involvement in Hermione Granger's death". Nobody's suggesting Harry should be exonerated of anything; this clause benefits the Malfoys only, and presumably "indemnify" would benefit them more.

Off the hook for the debt, in exchange for the exoneration. Indemnification would just replace Harry's debt with another form of debt.
