"K":

It's only movie contamination. I don't recall if Harry ever uses 
Hermione's wand in any of the books.

I don't believe this scene from PoA is an example of Hermione's wand 
being anything special. I'm not saying there isn't a possibility her 
wand will be important later. I just don't think this scene is 
pointing to that. I do, however,  believe this scene is just another 
example of Harry being able to control people and/or objects. Harry 
is the one who is very agitated and it's Harry that *made up his 
mind in a split second*. I find it hard to believe that the three 
kids managed to come up with the *exact same idea* at the *exact 
same time*.


Here are just a few examples:

~*~ 'I have not been helping Sirius,' said Lupin. 'If you'll give me 
a chance, I'll explain. Look--'

'He separated Harry, Ron and Hermione's wands and threw each back to 
it's owner; Harry caught his, stunned.
poa-ch 17-pg 254-uk

Harry made up his mind in a split second. Before Snape could take 
even one step towards him, he had raised his wand.

'Expelliarmus!' he yelled - except that his wasn't the only voice 
that shouted. There was a blast that made the door rattle on it's 
hinges; Snape was lifted off his feet and slammed into the wall, 
then slid down it to the floor, a trickle of blood oozing from under 
his hair. He had been knocked out.

Harry looked around. Both Ron and Hermione had tried to disarm Snape 
at exactly the same moment. Snape's wand soared in a high arc and 
landed on the bed next to Crookshanks.

'You shouldn't have done that,' said Black, looking at Harry. 'You 
should have left him to me...'

Harry avoided Black's eyes. He wasn't sure, even now, that he'd done 
the right thing.

'We attacked a teacher...we attacked a teacher...' Hermione 
whimpered, staring at the lifeless Snape with frightened eyes. 'Oh, 
we're going to be in so much trouble--'
poa-ch 19-pg 265-uk 


~*~  Snape gave Harry a swift, piercing look. Harry looked at the 
floor. He wished Ron would put his wand down.

Ron dropped his wand.

~*~  'Ron gave them to me,' said Harry, praying he'd get a chance to 
tip Ron off before Snape saw him. 'He - brought them back from 
Hogsmeade last time-

<snip>

Right on cue, Ron came bursting into the office. He was completely 
out of breath, and stopped just short of Snape's desk, clutching the 
stitch in his chest and trying to speak.

'I - gave - Harry - that - stuff,' he choked. "Bought - it - in - 
Zonkos - ages - ago.

~*~  "Right," said Harry hastily, staring at the contents of the 
Pensieve again, which were swirling more slowly now that Dumbledore 
had stopped adding thoughts. "And...er..."

But the Pensieve seemed to be asking his questions for him. Snape's 
face was swimming on the surface again. Dumbledore glanced down into 
it, and then up at Harry.

"No more has Professor Snape," he said.

*Shrieking Shack - Harry made up his mind in a split second.
*Snape/Troll scene - He wished Ron would put his wand down.
*Snape/Hogsmeade scene - Ron gave them to me
*Pensieve - Right, said Harry hastily, staring at the contents of 
the Pensieve again....But the Pensieve seemed to be asking his 
questions for him.
