Why didn't someone release the boggart during the fight with voldemorts death eaters at Hogwarts?
The boggart being able to quickly change forms into many different peoples fears would have surely been a excellent weapon against the death eaters

Can you control a boggart? If not, how could they have been sure that it would have attacked only the deatheaters? That would have caused chaos in both parties

Since the students learn how to defeat a bogart in school, I don't expect that a boggart would really present all that much of a threat to a fully trained death-eater. Also you could not guarantee that the boggart wouldn't turn the tide against the heros instead, as it does not appear to ever do anyone's bidding, it could well attack the Hogwarts defenders instead, aiding the death-eaters.

Using a Boggart against many people is not a good idea:
From the lesson on boggarts:
‘This means,’ said Professor Lupin, ‘that we have a huge advantage over the Boggart before we begin. Have you spotted it, Harry?’
‘Er – because there are so many of us, it won’t know what shape it should be?’
‘Precisely,’ said Professor Lupin. ‘It’s always best to have company when you’re dealing with a Boggart. He becomes confused. Which should he become, a headless corpse or a flesh-eating slug? I once saw a Boggart make that very mistake – tried to frighten two people at once and turned himself into half a slug. Not remotely frightening.‘
