Why is sectumsempra not unforgivable?

Sectumsempra isn't classified as an Unforgivable Curse primarily because it's reversible with a counter-spell (Vulnera Sanentur), unlike the others which inflict permanent mental/physical violations (Imperio, Crucio, Avada Kedavra), and its damage, while severe (bleeding wounds, potential dismemberment), isn't inherently death or permanent mind control, though its use on people warrants severe punishment, as seen with Harry's near expulsion. The Unforgivables are distinct for stripping free will, causing extreme torture, or killing instantly, requiring true malicious intent, whereas Sectumsempra is a powerful dark spell that can be healed and blocked, though it's highly illegal and dangerous when used on people.

Did Kratos regret killing Hephaestus?

Yes, Kratos likely regrets killing Hephaestus, viewing it as a tragic necessity where the Smith God died trying to protect his "daughter," Pandora, a sentiment Kratos expresses later and which resonates with fans because Hephaestus was just a desperate father, not a major threat like other Olympians. While Kratos rarely shows deep remorse for many Olympian kills, Hephaestus stands out because his motive was paternal, not power-hungry, and Kratos later acknowledges Hephaestus did what any father should, suggesting a layer of regret for killing someone acting out of love.
