In this case it's possible that they planned to Imperio Crouch Sr, not to kill him from the very beginning. Maybe "curse" means the Imperius curse :-). I don't understand why American editors feel the need to change things like that. "Curse" is definitely not the same thing as "death". LV could have meant any curse, not necessarily the Killing curse. They just confuse us, those editors (please don't take it personally, Carol :-)).
