Jayne:

The only time I felt surprised that he used "Expelliarmus" Was when 
Harry and Voldemort were fighting at the end of the battle of Hogwarts. 
Harry needed to kill V ,so IMHO he could have justifiably used 
"Avada Kedavra"

Liz:
I might be wrong but I always felt that at this point, Harry, knowing that the Elder Wand was really his, knew that he couldn't use an Unforgivable, perhaps it just wasn't in him, but he knew from previous encounters with the wands, that if played out correctly, the Elder wand would not act against him, that he needed to take control of the elder wand. If the rebounding curse had not killed LV, Harry would still be in possession of the Elder Wand and have a better chance yet still, it being the Death Stick.
I must admit though that I was terribly disappointed in the final confrontation.
