Also, Harry was in the middle of all of this and everyone knows what 
happens the last time someone tried to hit Harry with an AK.  Maybe 
they were concerned it could happen again.  I recall (don't have the 
book with me) that there were flashes of green light described pretty 
often.  Maybe it's sometime you try when your pretty sure your target 
isn't going to be able to get out of the way.  So many possiblites, 
thought I'd just throw some into the mix.
