Harry wouldn't ever use the killing curse though. Or Crucio.
he only used the mind control curse once because he needed to
Except when he used Crucio.
Twice.
but they explained that Harry just doesn't have it in him to use it for real
"you've got to mean it, you really need to WANT to hurt them"
they explained that righteous anger won't allow you to do it. You need to be evil to properly utilize it
I'll give you that "Phoenix" but re-read "Deathly Hallows" -- he uses it and he uses it to damn good effect.
