Betsy Hp:
There's still a lack of personal there, though.  To successfully cast 
the Crucio curse one must get some kind of enjoyment out of causing 
pain.  Not that you have to enjoy causing pain to a specific person, 
just in general.  

And isn't it interesting that Aurors are able to cast Unforgivables?  
This would mean that Tonks has been trained to find and use that part 
of herself that enjoys causing pain.  Kingsley and Mad-eye, too.  
Unlike Star Wars or other stories of that ilk, the kind of magic 
someone has knowledge of and is able to use doesn't really go all that 
far in telling us what sort of person they are.  JKR lets it be a bit 
more complicated and messy and real.
