Keith you just gave me a major brainwave.  I never
thought of relateing the HP spells to D&D (no rotten
fruit here I've been playing since I was 12) but
you're right, however the flaw I have to point out in
that is if you have a 12th level mage casting fireball
and a 7th level mage casts fireball to cancel it some
of the spell still gets through because the spells are
not at equal levels.  Therefore if Voldemort (who I
would say is at least 15th level if not better) cast
the Killing Curse and ANY of our heroic trio tries to
cast it back (I can't see any of them being above 7th
level) there is still at least 8 levels worth of spell
that can get through.  JMHO.
