Frost:  
  Somehow, I just don't think the Lumos would work normally. Well, 
maybe... ok, what I'm thinking is this:
  1) Super Adrenalin.  If that wasn't a moment where adrenalin would 
rush through the blood, I don't know what is.  As it is, we don't 
really know how adrenaline effects magic, but we do know how it 
effects the body, which includes sharpening of the senses and a sort 
of ability to hyper-concentrate on what is at hand.  Since we know 
that magic does need concentration,  it is likely that Harry's (and 
any other wizards) magical abilities might be a bit heightened at 
that moment, like strength is in everyone.  
  2) His hand was inches from the wand.  So it is possible that the 
close proximity allowed for the wand to received the magical command 
as well.  We don't know what would have happened, say, it had been 
several feet away.

We know that magic in untrained children, manifests itself when the 
child is feeling heightened emotions or their life is in danger. For 
example Neville bouncing when dropped out the window, Harry 
disapparating when being chased at school by Dudley and his gang and 
reapparating to a safe vantage point are just a few (though he didn't 
realise at the time it was magic).
We also know that powerful witches and wizards don't have to use 
their wands to perform magic but instead make things happen with 
their will(mind power). Dumbledore comes to mind however I can't think 
of any canon to concrete my beleif on this one. Can anyone else?

 Here's my  theory as to what happened to Harry in the alley that 
night when his wand lit up even though he was not physically holding 
the wand. 
I believe that wands and incantations are simply tried and true ways 
of performing magic, if you will, a vessel through which to harness 
the power of the magic, a way to combine one's will and magical 
ability. When Harry said the incantation he was desperately trying to 
find his dropped wand so he could perform the patronus charm to drive 
the dementors away. Therefore saying lumos actually made his wand 
light up even though there was no physical contact. This is very 
similar to Frosts adrenaline theory.

With this theory in mind one could, focusing their will, use 
the "accio wand" spell have their wand return to them, depending on 
how gifted the wizard or witch in question was. 
What does everyone else think?
