Hmm... Only such a one that is using unforgivable curse. (Crouch Jr. 
pretending to be Moody, Voldemort and Pettigrew) I'm on too minds about Krum

house-elf. But, well, did he not do anything to even try to shrug it off 
when told to do something like cruciatus??

I agree with that - no absolutes.
