I don't know when they would have learned Expelliarmus (early or late 
in schooling) if Lockhart hadn't started a Dueling Club (which also 
gave some information about extracurricular clubs at Hogwarts).

In the Shrieking Shack, Sirius does a number of spells after 
Expelliarmus. When Harry jumps him, " there was a blinding flash as
[Ron's] wand in Black's hand sent a jet of sparks into the air that 
missed Harry's face by inches"

Lupin hands Black Snape's wand and together they turned Scabbers 
back into Pettigrew: "A flash of blue-white light erupted from both 
wands; for a moment,Scabbers was frozen in midair, his small gray 
form twisting madly -- Ron yelled -- the rat fell and hit the floor. 
There was another blinding flash of light and then --"

Then they were going to kill Peter together -- they both rolled 
up their sleeves and pointed their wands at him -- WHY did they 
roll up their sleeves?

When they decided to capture Peter instead of killing him, "Black 
conjured heavy manacles from thin air". T

Then they all went back to the castle, with "Next came Professor 
Snape, drifting creepily along, his toes hitting each stair as they 
descended, held up by his own wand, which was being pointed at him by 
Sirius." I admit that one is less impressive, as it was Lupin that 
orginally cast the Mobilicorpus on Snape.
