and I agree citing:
"...wizards have been forbidden to settle their differences by 
magical means, because it caused a lot of trouble for the population 
at large and in any case it was often difficult to tell which of the 
resultant patches of smoking fat had been the winner."

It's fairly obvious given the description of both Snape and 
Lockhart's actions during their demonstration (ha!) that this duel is 
sport (ha Ha!) not along the lines of "I demand satisfaction!" 
(haHaHA!)
