Unforgiveable curse himself, he'd hardly expect Harry to use one, even
to vanquish the Dark Lord.  I think JKR definitely has something else
up her sleeve as to how LV will meet his end. <


Distaiyi ...

I think this is an excellent point and I just want to point out that
the countrary has been use as a literary device a number of other
times. For Example, in "Ender's Game" Ender is taught to not attach
planets but it is exactly the act that the Adults in charge hope for.
They know they could never live with destroying a planet, but a child
would recover, which Ender eventually does.

Now in Hogwarts they teach not to use the unforgiveable (sp?, sorry
tired) curses. But if a child, even a well trained child were to use
one, well eventually they would get over it. Maybe getting Harry to
the point where he can cast AK is exactly what Dumbledore wants?
