Me:

Could it be that Lockhart was lying ( what NOT Lockhart ;-)).

Anyway Lockhart admitted stealing his 'achievements' from loads of 
other poeple, it is possible that  (highly likely judging by how much 
of a coward he was at the end of COS) he was not present when the 
Homorphus charm was performed. So basically he would have heard of 
this second hand from the person who supposedly performed this charm 
so  this person could have been exagerating. Now add this to the fact 
that Lockhart probably exagerated the accounts he collected himself - 
this means that we could have an hugely exagerated account of this 
charm and what it does.
