Well, I know JKR invented the magic herself and ought to be the final 
authority, but surely we see focussed magic performed without a wand?

Quirrell merely snaps his fingers in order to get ropes to bind 
Harry. IIRC Snape performs the same wandless spell in POA (my son's 
gone off to the his grandparents' with the canon!).Isn't that 
focussed? There are other examples, I'm sure.

Sirius and Pettigrew don't need wands to perform the animagus 
transformation. I can't think that there's a much more focussed spell 
than *that*.

Eloise
who wishes she had a spell to do the packing, as she's shortly off 
for a few days to the grandparents' herself, with the rest of her 
brood.
