So I write:
I always thought AK was an unforgivable curse because it was the only
curse that is unblockable.  Any other forms of death-by-curse can be
avoided.  AK cannot.  Our hero Harry, even though he is so fast,
cannot avoid it as he can the others as evident in the graveyard when
he out runs the DE's curses to get to Cedric's body and the TriWizCup.

As for Imperius and Crucio, I guess they are unforgivable because they
cause so much trouble.  Imperius is a headaches for others and MoM,
and Crucio drives people eventually insane.

Just the impression I had.
