Beneficent Death Curses
KOFFEYKID:
Hell, Emotions are basically raw magical power. Harry says so multiple times throughout the series, and he commonly draws on his anger to get an extra boost in power. I also remember Harry saying that there is more magic in a baby's first laugh than in any wizard, or some such.
surarrin:
Love killed the Dinosaurs!

i'd allow it if it fit the situation
Tsunami:
Actually, we do have a precedent for a positive Death Curse. Ok, it's atheoretical one, since Harry never threw it, but in Fool Moon he contemplates:
Maybe I could counter MacFinn's curse with it, take the horrid transformation off of him that Saint Patrick had allegedly laid on him.
neko128:
Can I point out that a blessing and a curse are frequently (not necessarily always - I haven't thought it through that far - but often) two sides of the same coin?
A blessing of protection from Harry Potter's dieing mother *functioned* as a curse against anyone who acted against him. Eric's death curse against the Courts of Chaos acted as a blessing and guide on Corwin's actions (this is speculated on later in the books by Corwin, briefly).
They don't have to be mutually exclusive.
