I don't think you're being too logical, but I guess I just figured we 
only saw [results of] spells from VM's wand *up to a point*.  Isn't 
it possible that the connection was simply broken before we saw this 
last image you're asking about [a shattered Voldemort]?  I mean, we 
*know* VM performed many, many more spells than what we saw that 
night; I just figured we only made it up to James' death before the 
connection was broken.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here.
