First of all, it is not an unforgivable spell. It is an Unforgivable 
spell. Note the capital "U". It is an official designation, created by a 
Ministry that couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were 
written on the heel.

There was, however, a danger in Unforgivables by implication, if not 
stated outright. It requires that the caster pulls out the worst of him 
or herself. It's almost as like (and may be literally) every time you 
cast an Unforgivable, you destroy a small piece of your soul. Let's hope 
that, when Harry cast them, it was the Mortysoul.
