Del replies :
To put it simply, I'd be awfully disappointed if Harry had to learn to
kill in order to vanquish LV. I really hope that Harry won't try and
defeat the forces of evil with an intrinsically evil curse. I really
really hope that DD or whoever will show him another way, or that he
will find that other, better way, in himself.

That doesn't mean that it wouldn't be useful to master the AK, just to
deal with the DEs. But I feel that practicing the Unforgivable Curses
would leave such an evil stain on Harry's soul that he would never be
able anymore to conjure up whatever good feeling it is that LV doesn't
have. So I'm sure that Harry and the rest of the kids will be taught
other ways to defend and attack, spells that won't leave traces of
evil in them.
