1) With Voldemort and all the DEs in there - I doubt that anyone is 
going to doubt Harry or any other kid, for that matter. 
2) For Harry's part, it was an *attempt*, not actual using of the 
curse. I don't know whether an attempt is punishable.
3) Why do they specialize three curses as unforgivable? My theory is 
that it has to do with required emotion in order to accomplish one of 
them... I mean, it's one thing to want to hurt someone in anger and 
even hurting them as such, but to *enjoy* doing it!!! (Accoding to 
Beatrix Lestrange, one MUST enjoy giving pain if one is to cast a 
cruciatus curse... I think the real Moody never used one of those 
curses - there ARE loads of other ways to kill people, after all...).
 

Kemper responds:

1)  I don't think MoM is monitored.  Also, I don't think Hogwarts' 
students are monitored during the school season... only during summer 
holidays.
2)  Harry's 'attempted' use of the unforgivable curse does not make 
it ok.   Sure, it may not deserve a life sentence in Azkaban, but the 
attempted pain/assault may get some time there.
3)  I haven't heard your theory of the criteria for being an 
Unforgivalbe Curse.  I like it.  It's giving me something to chew 
on.  Thanks.
