Madmaxime:
Like some of the others that have responded, I'm not at all convinced
Harry needs to learn the 'unforgivables'. I think he will bring about
Voldemort's demise in some other fashion besides AKing him (which
would be rather boring, imo).
My speculation at this point is that Voldemort, continuing to
under-estimate his opponent as usual, will fall prey to the power
within Harry that he "knows not." Perhaps Harry's blood and 'the look
of triumph' will play a part as well. But I sincerely doubt this
"power" has anything to do with the unforgivables. Voldemort
understands that power quite well, after all.
I also don't see Harry going all 'Rambo', and starting to knock off
the Death Eaters (Peter, Bella, etc.). It's enough that he has to
'kill' Voldemort. I believe the fate of Peter and Bella will be left
to others.
