A central problem with Morgoth's curse is its seeming interference with
a key aspect of Middle-earth, free will.

As for Morgoth's observation about Hurin not dying, could he have
seen aspects of Hurin's fate in the Music of the (Ainur?)? Perhaps then
"curses" and "prophecies" might be a recognition by individuals now dwelling in Middle-earth of aspects of the Music, or Morgoth's meddling discordencies, rather then an active intervention towards individuals in Middle-earth? (More like reading a book as opposed to writing it).
