Interesting contrast between HP and Star Wars

Here is something interesting I was just thinking about:

In the Harry Potter universe the Imperius Curse which imposes your will 
onto someone else is considered an Unforgivable-one of the worst curses 
you can use. In Star Wars, however, the Jedi have no problem imposing 
their will on someone else when they use a Jedi mind trick.

Conversely, among the Jedi I would guess that to pilfer someone's mind 
would be seen as a definite darkside action (many fanfics have this 
happening and in them it is considered of the dark side). In Harry 
Potter however Legilimency, the practice of pilfering someone else's 
mind is not associated with dark magic, though a Dark Wizard can use 
the ability it is not considered a Dark Art (as far as we know). We 
know that Dumbledore is a perfectly competent ligelimens and uses it 
without qualms (Kreacher, Hepzibah's house elf, Morfin).

Interesting differences. One universe considers one ability acceptable 
while another considers it dark and vice versa with a second ability.
