zgirnius:
Yes, I recall reading Finwitch's post (number 139525). I think it could 
certainly have been done at that time. But this would mean that TR 
would have had to modify DD's memory, as described in that post. And in 
such a way that the Pensieve memory appears almost perfectly normal. 
This seems a tall order. 

I could also see TR just thinking about doing the curse right then and 
then coming to his senses. And casting the curse out of Dumbledore's 
sight. It's not exactly like cursing a person or an item, is it? For 
that I would imagine you need to be pretty close to the object. But 
the "DADA Position" is a rather intangible thing to curse, so I could 
imagine that it might be doable from anywhere on the Hogwarts grounds, 
really.
