Carol earlier:
<snip> But, like most of the spells in the books other than Dark curses, it can be abused. <snip>

Carol again:

Sorry to be unclear. I meant that most spells can be either used or abused. With Dark magic, it's different. Those spells, with rare exceptions like Snape's evil-seeming but necessary AK, can't be put to good uses. They're created to control or torture kill the living or to abuse the dead (Inferi, "bone of the father," etc.) or for other cruel or evil purposes, so they can't really be abused. To use them is to abuse not the spell but the victim. Cruciatus, for example, is designed to torture and can't be used for any other purpose, as I tried to say in another post but acciedntally typed "can" for "can't."

Carol, wasting a post but wanting to prevent misunderstanding
