The legal trap

Is the trap bad?

What if 1 e4 e5 2 Nc3 d6 3 Nf3 Nc6 4 Bc4 Bg4 5 Nxe5 Nxe5 6 f3 Qh4+ ?

White should play 5.h3 and only after 5.-Bh5? play 6.Nxe5! because Nxe5 7.Qxh5 Nxc4 8.Qb5+ wins a pawn.

What if 1 e4 e5 2 Nc3 d6 3 Nf3 Nc6 4 Bc4 Bg4 5 h3 Bxf3 6 Qxf3 Nf6 ?

Black avoided the trap, but unlike 5.Nxe5? Nxe5 white did not lose a piece.

the trap is played by black and not white @badatthegame
