That's what I mean by "the effect of his holding his own, his magical 
strength."  It was V's wand that did it because Harry was stronger 
than he expected.  I absolutely give Harry credit for that, but that 
doesn't mean that Harry had any choice (conscious subconscious or 
otherwise) in which order the spells came out.  he just caused them 
to come out.
