Thank you Vicki,
    I whole-heartedly agree.  Harry willing a spell to perform in a 
manner counter to it's intent is just not supported by the magical 
universe that JKR has set down or by any precedence.  I put forth a 
theory back on post 1530 that may admittedly have some holes but I 
think you might find interesting if you haven't read it already.  
Anyway, it's good to know I'm not the only one anymore.
                                          Thanks, Brian
