Cruciatus curse, for example, has no good use that I can see."
The Cruciatus spell can be used for good. Some have suggested it was
originally a medical spell to wake patients up from comas.
Also, wouldn't casting it repeatedly on someone build up a resistance
to pain?
Sorry, I just don't buy it. There are nerve pressure points which
medical personal may use to see if a person is truly unconscious or
not, but cruciatus? Nope. That spell is too generalized and causes too
much pain.
I look at it this way. There are some spells which were deliberately
designed to hurt people, and others which have been corrupted over the
centuries into that catagory. Most of the spells aren't dark. Its the
intent of the caster to make them so. Should someone actually come up
with a good reason as to why cruciatus can be used for good I'm
willing to listen. But I don't believe there is a good reason for it.
