In their Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Moody says that he needs to show them what a curse looks like if they are to defend against it, so he shows them the three Unforgivable Curses, that when used against a human being, carry a life sentence in Azkaban.
He mentions that this curse was used during Voldemort's time, and that the Ministry had a tough job determining who was being controlled and who was acting of their own free will.
He lets them know that the only person known to survive that one is Harry Potter, whose scar is from that very curse.

 Harry Potter Portal Message Board -> Harry used the Cruciatus Curse
That's one of the things that make the unforgivable curses to horrible; the fact that the only people who can really do them are the vindictive people that truly enjoy them.
But, I think Harry needs to be *very* careful in the future to avoid any Unforgiveable Curses, even if he faces Voldi (keep in mind that Dumbledore didn't try to kill Voldiwhen when he was dueling with him; I don't think that Dumbli would ever use an Unforgiveable Curse).
When I read the bit when Harry uses the Cruciatus Curse, I was like, GO HARRY! I mean, Bellatrix had just killed Sirius, and I think I would probably have felt the same if I was in that situation (though I probably wouldn't have had the guts to actually attack her).

Three curses in particular are known as Unforgivable because using them on another human being can result in a life term in Azkaban.
One, the Killing Curse, was used by Voldemort himself on Harry Potter, but the curse backfired and Voldemort was defeated.
These three curses were used extensively by Voldemort's followers during his rise to power in the 1970s, and their use by Aurors against suspects was in turn authorized by Bartemius Crouch senior at that time.

Harry Potter and the other kids all represent an inherent breakdown in the order of the way things are supposed to be.
Now, while some in the blogosphere are less than enamored with the Harry Potter series, even these curmudgeons would allow that the series has caused a lot of children to become more voracious readers, which is all to the good.
Both the purest heroes and the most evil villains in the books are, so to speak, "on a par" with each other, every one of them has a chance to oppose and eventually conquer the other - no untouchable "Gods", even the "unforgivable" curses only land you a lifetime sentence in Azkaban, not eternal damnation.

Umbridge may have had Fudge's vote before, but she's got no chance of much of anything now, especially with the stunts that she pulled, trying to use the unforgivable curses on students.
In the fifth book, on page 652, Ron says, "We've got about as much chance or winning the Quidditch Cup as dad's got of becoming Minister of Magic." Then Ron saves the day and helps the Gryffindor team win the Quidditch Cup.
If Fudge is to leave office, which is a major possibility since he messed up the whole Voldemort thing and then had to admit to the entire wizarding population that he had made a mistake, someone has to step in to take his place as Minister of Magic.
