Potioncat:
I'll need help with this. JKR said that hexes, jinxes, curses were Dark 
Magic. I'm not sure if that was just before or just after HBP. At the 
time we were all trying to work out just what defined Dark Magic and 
what it was that made Dark Magic bad. Or at what point magic became 
gray and when it turned dark. Boy, were we coming at it from the wrong 
angle!
