He’s seen the curse used by Voldemort to kill his parents, but that doesn’t mean he’s practiced it.
Wasn’t Quirrel supposed to be teaching the killing curse, after winning a bet with Dumbledoor that first years could learn the patronus? I’m surprised that the story never mentioned whether Harry chose to learn it.
I didn’t think they had reached that point in the year yet.
edit: Lesath mentioned that he hadn’t learned the Killing Curse as a contrast against the other students, which clearly implies that that time has indeed come. My bad.
