This is nothing against Jo, I am sure that originally it was one way
and she changed her mind somewhere in the middle of writing and
failed to change the beginning. It happens quite often.

Marny:

But the revised GoF was corrected to make it CONSISTENT with SS.  During
Priori Incantantem, the spells come out of the wand in the reverse order
they were performed; since Lily was killed second, she should come out of
the want first, which is what the OP's subject line was referring to.
