Lily's Wand

LPD just mae a post about Lily that made me think of something I
wanted to bring up regarding her wand.  I can't get out of my head
what Mr. Ollivander said to Harry about Lily's wand.  He recalled
which wand she purchased: "Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made
of willow.  Nice wand for charm work."

Charm work.  Ollivander stressed that it's the wand that chooses the
wizard. I wonder if Rowling isn't revealing something about Lily's
"specialty."  Could it have been charms?   

Dumbledore later spoke of the love that protected Harry.  Perhaps it
was more than her love that did this.  -EKH
