Juli: 
I didn't want to get into the 'Unforgivables' discussion, but here I 
go...

Of course Harry used thr unforgivables, he had to. It was all for 
the 'Greater Good'. If Harry hadn't used the Imperius curse, he would 
have never retrieved the Goblet Horcrux, Voldemort would have never 
been killed, the WW would suck. I don't think that Voldie's soul in 
Harry made him cast those curses, he did it all on his own, and he 
meant every single one of them. 

It's like Snape killing Dumbledore, he didn't want to cast the Avada 
Kedavra, he didn't desire his death, but he did mean it. He had his 
mind into casting the spell, therefore it was a succesful spell.

I believe the reason Harry didn't cast any more unforgivables after 
visiting Snape's memories is that he wasn't in the battle afterwards, 
he had no need for them, so he didn't cast them.
