I was just re-listening to GoF and was wondering what significance there is
in Barty Jr. using Harry's wand to conjure the dark mark. JKR could have had
Jr. use any wand, but she made it Harry's wand. Has there been any relavence
to this later in the book? I wonder if the fact that Harry's wand has
conjured the dark mark will have any significance later on. I know it's kind
of a stab in the dark, but what do you guys think?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Most likely it was just a plot device so readers would recognize Priori 
Incantatem at the end. JKR seems to enjoy using everything she introduces at 
some point even over books, For example polyjuice potion. We are introduced 
to it in COS and it has real plot significance in GOF.

Of course I could go in a completely different direction and wonder what 
would have happened if Voldemort's wand caused Harry's spell to come out an 
dit made it to the Dark mark.  Highly unlikely but nevertheless. This also 
makes me wonder what the huge plot hole JKR has said she came across while 
writing GOF was, and what she did to fix it. Or if this has relevence. I am 
probably getting off topic now so I will stop.
