SSSusan:
Oh, now that's interesting!

So you're saying that, rather than Harry being *worse* than DD 
because he used Unforgivables which DD was "too noble" to use, Harry 
is *better* than DD because he *could* them and was strong enough not 
to "turn Dark" in the process.  Is that what you're getting at?

If so, does that mean that you think DD didn't use Unforgivables 
*not* so much because he was too noble, but because he feared he was 
too weak and might give in to the power of using Dark curses?

Or am I misreading you entirely? :)
