Abbet askes:
If the MoM can track underage magic, why can't they track the Unforgivable
Curses?

lovegrrl ponders:
There are only two explanations I can find for this. One is the sheer amount
of work it would take for the Ministry to monitor every wizards and witches
wand. They keep tract on underage magic because it is against the law for
them to use magic outside school but what reason would they have to monitor
*everyone* else.
Also, think about it... it would be like the government tapping into your
phones lines and checking your mail. Even if you are completely innocent and
law abiding you wouldn't willingly hand your freedom over to a faceless
government organisation. Would you?
