Potioncat:
Excellent post about Percy.  I agree.  But this line jumped out and 
did flips.

Remember a couple of thousand of posts ago, or maybe more, the big 
discussion was whether casting Unforgivables did something to the 
one who cast them.  And along that line, what effect it had on Harry 
that he tried to cast one, and what it said about him that he 
couldn't.

Well, obviously Peter knew how to cast an Avada Kedavra, because I 
doubt this was the first time.  And, assuming you  have to want to 
kill the person, Peter must be pretty darned evil.  It didn't appear 
that he was under Imperio at the time. We know he spied for LV, in 
the past, I wonder what else he did?

I'm not arguing that a good or just not-evil person couldn't be 
forced to kill someone, but that this type of  killing requires 
certain skills.
