The conclusion is only in dispute if you think Hermione hated Harry
until her dying day and at the end of book 7 JKR wants her readers to
hate Harry and Snape. Are you certain you really want to defend that
argument?

Well that is certainly untrue. The concept was not even introduced
until book 4 and in that book we learn that the Ministry itself has
routinely used those curses, and in book 5 and 6 Harry used them. In
book 6 Snape uses the very worst of the "Unforgivables" but in the
next book we learn that it was a noble thing to do and Harry has most
certainly forgiven Snape for committing this "unforgivable" act. 
 
In fact other than the name (given by that paragon of virtue, the
Ministry) JKR does not give us one scrap of evidence that the
"Unforgivable" curses are indeed unforgivable, not one hint in
7 books.
