Thoughts:

  • Can the unbreakable vow be leveraged for unbreakable pre commitments?
  • Harry knows that the horcruxes will eventually be destroyed through heat death of the universe if nothing else and could use this to tell Voldemort something like "if you kill me you will die" in parseltongue

Can the unbreakable vow be leveraged for unbreakable pre commitments?

Isn't this its only use?

I mean the existing unbreakable vow that Harry has just been bound by could perhaps be used for something else.
