The whole Department of Mysteries, especially the Death Chamber and
that locked room (filled with love???), are perhaps introduced by
JKR to show us a wider variety of mortal dangers in the WW, besides
the AK curse (and Devils Snare, of course).
As far as I can remember, there's no mentioning about if Sirius was
killed by a Spell first before falling trough the Vail.
I was under the impression that Sirius was killed BY or BECAUSE
passing the Vail.
Wouldn't that be an appropriate step for Voldemort, too, facing the
end of book seven?
Or being strangulated by some terrible memories?
Or lost in the unbearable lightness of room and space?
I cannot really imagine Harry using the AK curse in serious. I've to
admit that he's already `improved' in OOTP, using the Cruciatus
Curse on Bellatrix. But this was rather half-hearted and there's
still a long way from hexing or jinxing somebody to actually killing
a person, even if it's LV.
And, turn it as you like, Harry would end up as a murderer when
actively killing LV. Not a very nice attribute. Not for our hero.
Though, Harry is not a killer and the next two books are unlikely to
change him into one, are they?
If the Dark Lord owns a little bit of decency at the end, he should
do us all the favour of just jumping through the Vail by himself.
Yes, I know that's kind of boring, but anyway.
