Hello everyone.  As I recall, on SS when Harry was looking for his wand, he 
said that he could use both hands.  So, I don't think of this as a flub.  
But, maybe this is something that in the future will help him defeat 
Voldemort (I don't know maybe he has to use his left arm instead of this 
right.....
