I don't have the book right now with me, but if I'm not mistaken, Viktor Krum was under the Imperius curse, when he performed the Cruciatus curse on Cedric, wasn't he? I recall vaguely that someone had uttered the word "Imperio" before Krum casted the Cruciatus curse. Who that person was, I'm not really sure. That means, he did not do it intentionally, and I think Harry knew this. But I'm sure some one else out there could explain much better.
