Unforgivable Curses

 Okay, enough posts about the movie trailers already!
It's crazy. Okay, so I have two questions:

1) In PoA, Harry corners Sirius and contemplates
killing him. Sirius asks Harry if he's going to kill
him. Earlier in the book, Ron and Hermione are afraid
that Harry is going to try and find Sirius and seek
revenge (presumably kill him) So the question is, how
would Harry be able to kill him, or anyone? It's
pretty clear he was going to do it with his wand. In
GoF when they learn about the Killing Curse from
Moody, he says something like 'the Avada Kedavra curse
needs a powerful bit of magic behind it, you all could
point your wands at me and say those words and I doubt
I'd even get a nosebleed' So how could Harry alone
kill Sirius?

2) This doesn't really have a point but...wouldn't
Voldemort get bored and tired of the same three curses
over and over again? I mean, obviously he's a pretty
powerful and intelligent wizard, somewhat of a
criminal mastermind perhaps, surely he would lose
enjoyment after awhile. The killing curse is so
simple, just mutter a few words and bang-they're dead.
No challenge, no thinking behind it, no great
accomplishment. I can see how the Imperius curse would
amuse him for awhile....but the Cruciatus curse? After
watching hundreds of people being tortured in the
exact same way every time the novelty must wear off.
 If V is as intelligent and powerful as we've assumed,
I believe he would yearn for a challenge, something to
test his great mind, push the envelope further than
torturing Muggles and mudbloods.
