 That's more or less what I think--eventually wizards and witches 
become so magically skilled they don't need to say the incantation 
part of certain spells anymore. I think of the incantation 
(alohomora, for example) as just being a word that triggers a desired 
effect in your brain, which, in turn, causes it to manifest in the 
real world.

I say:
I really like this idea, it makes a lot of sense.  But then why did 
Ron's levitating spell not work properly?  Since we all know 
it's "Wing-GAR-dium levi-O-sa" not "wingardium levio-SA" =)

I don't know if the words are totally useless, because what would be 
the point in them?  If their only purpose is to "remind" the wizard 
of the spell, then it would be much more effective for the wizard to 
personailze the spells and use words they closely associated with the 
desired outcome.

Which leads me into a new question.  Where did magic COME from?  It 
seems to be somewhat natural, as it can't be strictly "learned."  
(i.e. you're born magical or you're not) so it doesn't seem as if 
humans created it.  So then how would they have discovered how to 
*use* it?  And how to make and use wands?

Well that's the end of my babbling
