I'm with you on Harry's use of unforgivables. He's a human being involved in a war. Will he be proud of the decision later? No. Might it haunt him later? Perhaps. But it made sense under the circumstances. Good human beings sometimes do 'unforgivable' things in combat settings, and this while book was one long combat zone.
I also agree with you on Rowling's love stories. I liked the notion of Lupin/Tonks, but she didn't flesh it out enough. The one kissing scene with Harry and Ginny was lovely, but it was one scene. And there's nowhere nearly enough material to figure out why Lily fell for and married someone that she thot was 'an arrogant toerag.'
