Carol:
Surely the Unforgivable Curses are unforgiveable when used on human beings throughout the WW, and even ex-DE Karkaroff would not have broken that ban by having students kill, torture, or even Imperio other students. However, it does seem that Krum had some experience with the curse or he couldn't have Crucio'd Cedric. I'm guessing that they practice the Unforgiveables on animals, much as Hogwarts students
learn Transfiguration on animals. 
  
Juli now:
  Not necessarily. I remember when Neville was under Imperio in GoF, he performs some physical activities he wouldn't have been able to do in his normal state. If Neville acquires extraordinary abilities (like performing pirouettes), why can't Viktor acquire the ability to perform an Unforgivable?
