I think it wasn't so much that Harry was using specific spells as that 
he was making what he wanted happen. He wanted to free the snake; he 
wanted to get Tia Marge to shut up; he wanted to get away from the 
bullies. (Didn't he also break a glass once?) Anyway, Harry didn't 
even know those things were possible, let alone what spell to use. I 
think it was, as Hagrid said, "making things happen" (and from the 
fact that Hagrid says it as if it happens to everyone indicates it may 
not be an isolated phenomenon... Remember, Neville bounced). 

I always thought that Harry was more posturing than anything when he 
threatened Sirius. It's the same thing as people who are fighting 
going, "I'm gonna kill you!" even though they have no intention of 
doing so.
