Me: Wow-that's a very good idea, and it made me think of another 
possibility. Several of the more advanced wizards/witches are seemingly able 
to perform magic without muttering an incantation. For example. Molly 
Weasley skinned potatoes and made a dustpan pick them up with a point of the 
wand. Bill and Charlie battled tables, repaired a table leg, and conjured 
tablecloths with a flick of the wand. Dumbledore delivered hundreds of 
sleeping bags with one point. Perhaps all these people had to do was imagine 
what they wanted, and channel it to the wand. Perhaps all Harry needed to do 
was imagine Sirius dying, and channel it through his wand!
