  There's been a lot of speculation about how Harry is going to kill 
Voldemort. That may be a long way off, but as the second war begins, 
Harry will surely have to kill some people... Bellatrix for instance. 
I imagine that he will kill her in the next book. And  may be 
Peter .He also needs use other unforgivable curses. With his feeble 
attempt at cruciatus curse not that effective, he needs to practise 
them more, doesn't he? I don't think they will be taught anywhere 
near Hogwarts and Dumbledore is only for teaching defense and not 
offense. So how's Harry going to learn them?

Taryn:
Never, I'd imagine. I don't think Harry will end up killing anyone besides Voldemort, and that will be done in a particularly different way--certainly not a simple AK. (AK! The end! Can you imagine?) JKR's already made the whole theme of the importance of staying above certain levels (Dumbledore being too noble to use certain powers, Harry leaving Peter alive). Harry's attempted use of the Cruciatus (sp?) was a big enough deal without him sitting down and learning these spells to REALLY use them.

If anything happens to Bella, I'm positive Neville's going to be the one heavily involved. I think there's going to be an issue with the desire for vengeance versus forgiveness with this.

Now, there's ONE thing I'm positive of--Harry's certainly not going to kill Peter. He already spared him, it would defeat the entire purpose.

The only reason I'd EVER like to see Harry learning the Unforgiveables (which I DON'T) would be more cool Harry/Snape scenes. ;)
