Possibly anyone could do it, but only a very powerful person could kill with it. If, lets say, Ginny's little 2 year old sister who doesn't exist said it, it wouldn't do anything.

i dont thinks its skill that make up the unforgivable curses but of "will" to do so like how Bleatrix Mentions in Order of the Phoenix and how harry rementions it in deathly hallows. Lamon Terms: If u have the will to kill, you can do it. As showed by Goyle and Crabbe

I think that its something like the other unforgivable curses, like bellatrix explained to harry, you have to really mean it for it to take affect.

I think it's a sort-of combination of the two... magical ability and a want to do harm, in this case killing. It's not a secret that Crabbe and Goyle suck at Potions, but we really don't know much about them besides that. I wonder if they are just like other students who excel in one area and fall apart in other areas. Some students are great at math, but are not so good at... gym, for instance while other students love gym and sports, but when it comes to classes, they do not excel in some areas. Some people love reading and work hard at English, but fall apart when it comes to math. I think Crabbe and Goyle are like those students... they found an area of studies that interest them and worked hard to excel in that area.

I actually think the Avada kedavra makes it too easy to kill. One thing thought, the average teenager thing with Crabb. That it true, that is werid, but he didnt kill anyone with it. Maybe they would only have gotten a nosebleed of it.

It does make it easy to kill including teaanagers.... not unlike the average muggle handgun, which are inreasingly easy to obtain. So I think it was really interesting to see what apparantly is the wizarding method of killing.
