Harry's failure with the Crucio curse does help explain some of 
the "childish" curses used by the DE on Harry and the others at the 
MOM.  If the unforgivable curses require hate/sadism/loathing on the 
part of the user towards the recipient, then it is likely that the 
DE would be ineffective at using these curses against Harry, et al, 
since they really didn't know the kids, and were only there for the 
prophecy(with the exception, perhaps of Lucius and Bellatrix).  Is 
this why Voldemort was more involved with certain killings and left 
others to his DE? (i.e. killing baby Harry)
