I'd say probably a flaw. I've never been entirely happy with Imperiused 
Krum using that Unforgivable Curse because it effectively means a 
wizard can indirectly cast spells VIA another wizard, even if he 
or she doesn't know them, and it suggests that (as I mentioned in an 
earlier post) Krum could Imperius someone else, who could Imperius 
someone else, and so on ad infinitem, enabling one wizard who knows the 
Imperius curse to indirectly control an infinite number of others.
