I tried to figure things out in this scene ages ago.  However, when the 
man? turns and faces away from the shut door, a second later the door is 
blown in.  Now if that was LV backing up to the door, who shot who?  I 
could get into all sorts of wild theories here, but will leave it for 
now.  The man, was also standing with his back to the wall at right angles 
to the door looking into the room as Lily was slamming the door.  He didn't 
turn right around, I mean he didn't turn 360 degrees.

Then we have Lily screaming as she slowly falls bending backwards 
almost.  Now, maybe they had to do something in the movie, but that posture 
and duration seems to be more Crucio than AK.  I understood the AK was 
instant and super quick.   u8t in the sequence, she didn't have much time 
to put harry in the crib after the door was blown in.
