What made Unforgiveables so bad? Raiden had to think about that for a second. There were certain situations... were at least one of them wouldn't be completely unforgivable. But nobody really used it that way.

"Well in the case of the Cruciatus... that can cause such pain that the person never recovers, mentally or physically. It's just... wrong." He paused. "The Killing Curse is... well it's obvious, innit? Killing is the ultimate unforgivable sin."

This last one was a bit tricky.

"The Imperius Curse, in theory, is just as bad as the other two. As..." his voice caught for a moment, and he became suddenly aware of the presence of a few of the students in the room. "As we've previously been shown. Taking control of a person and forcing them to do what you want... affecting their mind and their body like that, is unforgivable."

The other question... hmm.

"There are cases where someone can... er... accidentally stumble across or create such things, isn't there? Such as a basilisk... The original intention of the creator was malicious, but who's to say that nobody's accidentally created one while experimenting?" Sure, it was an odd experiment, but it was possible. "Developing spells is a trickier one because... well there's intention there. If you've bad intentions, you're likely to get something to match."
