Enough Wandless Magic

I really do not know what the big deal is about wandless magic, Harry 
has done it unkowingly since he was quite young.  However, it does 
appear that truly strong wizards are capable of performing the 
darkest magic without wands, too.

Case at point, in SS, most of Quirrel's actions against Harry in the 
final portions of the book are wandless.  There is no mention of a 
wand when he magically binds him, makes flames appear to prevent his 
escape, etc.  So clearly, strong, dark wizards can do it.

Even more incredible than wandless magic was multiple complex spells 
from one wand at the same time.  That, at least was my take on the 
fight scene between Tom and Albus near the end of OoP.  I thought it 
incredible that both could do multiple complex things at once using 
their wand.  Some of what transpired between theme was like a 
choreographed recital with multiple events occurring at once.  I do 
not knwow if anyone else has discussed this, but call it complacency 
if you wish, I had assumed one wand + one spell at a time.  I was 
Stupefied when Albus "brandished his wand in one , long, fluid 
movement"-getting rifd of the snake attacking him, while cocooning 
Voldemort in the pool water; all while continuing to protect Harry 
with the enchanted statue. 

He was a true Commander in Chief during the whole battle-sending 
enchanted fountain folk to wake the Ministry and Aurors, dealing with 
DEs; Harry, Tom and Bellatrix, and calling Fawkes at the same time, 
etc.  Enough talk about wandless magic-we finally can see why 
Dumbledore was the one wizard Tom feared (before Harry-of course).
