In some posts, there has been the question of why the Death Eaters 
didn't use the killing curse more often in the last battle.

I was thinking about the Crucio curse and what Lestrange said about 
having to really mean it.  Maybe only certain people can perform the 
Avada Kedavra curse.  People who absolutely want their victim to die, 
or have no love for anyone like Voldemort.

This leads me to another thought.  I was wondering why Harry was able 
to get in so many spells against adult Death Eaters.  Maybe JKR is 
showing us that Harry really IS great at Defense Against the Dark 
Arts.  Maybe all his victories haven't been accidents.  After all 
Hermione is super smart.  I can believe that Harry is destined to be 
a super powerful wizard like Dumbledore.  And the first signs of his 
ability are manifesting with adult-like abilities in DADA.
