Alla:

Ooooo, great point, thank you. I have to reread this lesson in GoF. I 
don't have GoF near by. It does not say though that Ministry named 
them "Unforgivables" , right?


Besides the person who performs this lesson is not real Moody, and he 
 as we know has no problem performing Unforgivables, so it makes 
semse to me that he would try to move the prohibition into the legal 
realm from the spiritual one.

Moreover, we know that Barty Sr. had no problem allowing 
unforgivables when he saw fit, so I think  they are feeling pretty 
much OK to fit the law to their needs.

I see Dumbledore as being very different from Ministry authorities.

Thank you again, I forgot about that quote.

JMO,

Alla, who realises that this is her fourth post, so she shuts up for 
today.
