Voldemort showed in Goblet of Fire that he like the
Cruciatus curse almost as much as the AK. In fact, I
think he likes it more because he's a sadist. 

He didn't even need to use the Cruciatus Curse on
Harry. All he had to do was stand next to Harry to get
almost the same affect. Yet he did both.

Harry mastered throwing off the Imperius Curse after
having had it used on him a couple of times. It will
be interesting to see if something similiar happens
with the Cruciatus Curse.

He may not actually have that until that final
confrontation in the last book. This is not the same
as in POA. This would be a case of kill or be killed.
Or it could be a case of kill or see everyone he cares
about be killed. 

I also have the feeling that it will not be via the
AK. We'll have to wait and see.
