zanooda:

Harry only managed to cast successful Unforgivables in DH, when he was
using Draco's wand, not his own. His previous attempt to "Crucio"
Bellatrix with his own wand was unsuccessful. I don't think that it
was Draco's wand that made Harry use Unforgivable curses, but maybe it
was easier for Harry to cast a successful curse with a wand that
already did it a few times, like Draco's. 

I'm not sure that Draco ever used Imperius curse (maybe on Rosmerta),
but he definitely crucio'ed a few people, so the knowledge of the
curse would be stored inside his wand. I don't blame Harry's use of
Unforgivables on Draco's wand - actually, I don't blame Harry for
using the curses at all :-), I just think that maybe the wand made it
technically easier for Harry.
