Hmm, okay, so is the death scene of Lily known as approved by JKR?  If it
was, we've got a bit of a mix up here.  The film shows Lily screaming, for
an extended moment.  AK as shown by Moody/Crouch and later when Cedric dies
just kills.  Boom.  The end.  No time for screams.  Is it possible that Lily
was learning to resist it?  As Harry instinctively resisted the Imperious
curse?  Of course, Harry wasn't completely successful with that and with AK
you don't get a second chance.  Just a thought, I know it couldn't be
blocked etc., but if that scene was approved there's something more than
meets the eye there.
