  Sorry. Channeled Anya there for a second; won't happen again.

  My theory is actually that wizards who practice Dark Arts might 
have a "standard set" of magical practices which is a little 
different than most. We already tend to know that they rely on 
curses, and I think we might see that they also tend to operate on a 
power level which allows them dispense with some of the normal props, 
like brooms for flying and wands, for some tasks. As I recall, 
Quirrell *also* at one point was able to use a hand gesture to make 
something happen (gaa! what was it?), where you would expect a wizard 
to have to channel power through a wand.
