Not a question I can answer, but where is the line between "it really 
worked and counts as an unforgivable" and "the words were said and 
something happened but not really"?

Also, just to remind everyone, back in Goblet of Fire when Moody-
Crouch was teaching DADA, he said that everyone could point their 
wands at him and say "avada kedavra" and it would probably give him 
no more than a nosebleed (paraphrase).
