Neri:
Of course, this is quite a logical (and thematic) explanation why the
Imperius Virus might not work. It surely sounds better than "because
Voldy just didn't think about it". I'll be happy to accept it since I
don't claim the Imperius Virus will indeed happen in Book 7. I just
claim that the possibility isn't excluded by canon. Some of the fun in
exploring imaginary universes is that they have many possibilities the
Author has never thought about.

After all, even in RL there's no analytical way to know in advance if
a virus will work or not. It depends on the complex interaction
between too many unknowns. The only way to find out is to try it.
Perhaps curiosity is one of the main motives behind computer viruses.
Now, lets see what happens if I add this code line here
 and here

Oops, why is world Internet down suddenly?
