Lisa:

But that's just it -- it's NOT the writings of JKR.  JKR had Hary 
unable to do the Unforgiveable Curses before because he didn't MEAN 
them ("You have to MEAN them, Potter!"), not because he "never had it 
in him."  Once he MEANT them, he could do them.  Some see that as an 
inconsistency in canon -- but not I.
