We know that in the restricted section of the library they keep 
books of advanced Dark Arts that are only used by students in 
advanced Defense against the Dark Arts. And Fake Moody states the 
Unforgivable are discussed/taught, at least their effect and 
probably theory, in the 6th year. If a student was good at 
experimenting they could probably master the Unforgivable quite 
easily...Harry has no experience but he manages to shut Bella up 
pretty quick. Imagine if he had practiced on spiders for a month 
before hand.

And then there is Knockturn Alley which is devoted to the Dark Arts 
and clearly open to the wizarding public since it is the Weasley 
parents and not the law that keeps the Twins and Ron out.

There are probably tons of ways for old Voldemort to get his hand on 
material...he is supposed to be the most brilliant student to ever 
go to Hogwarts (and both Hermione and Harry know spells well above 
there grade level).
