Geoff:
I commented yesterday that there would be problems identifying the 
source of spells because of the number cast - I quoted my reply 94642 
of last March.

Someone mentioned the matter of the Crucio which Harry tried to cast. 
Don't forget that there were at least two attempts because Bellatix 
cast a return Crucio in Harry's direction and there were at least two 
Avadra Kedavra spells cast, one cast by a Death Eater (possibly 
Jugson or Dolohov) at Hermione and one by Voldemort at Harry.
