Carol adds:
I knew that the curse caster was Dolohov. what I want to know, and
examining the MoM scene won't answer the question, is what that curse
was that he cast. Dolohov is clearly evil (a known murderer) and
apparently very powerful, given the harm to Hermione caused by a curse
that he could only whisper. But what was the curse? Not an
Unforgiveable or any curse we've seen so far (the only purple or
violet-flamed curse or hex I can recall is Hagrid's attempt to turn
Dudley into a pig in SS/PS, clearly not the same spell).

Carol, who wonders how Crabbe Jr. will react to the condition of his
father if Crabbe Sr. is indeed the baby-headed DE and is still in St.
Mungo's rather than Azkaban with Lucius Malfoy
