Now Aggie:
To emphasise your point Meri, 'if the two wands are forced to 
*duel*'.  It only occured to me when I read your post.
If Harry points his wand at LV and says 'Avada Kedavra' and LV 
doesn't react in time, then I would guess LV would 'die'.  Obviously 
this works vice versa!  It's only if the two wizards curse each other 
at the same time that 'Priori incantatem' occurs.  If this wasn't the 
case then LV wouldn't have been able to 'Crucio' Harry at the 
graveyard.  
That's my take on it anyway!  

On a side line, does anyone else think that 'Avada Kedavra' is 
JKR's 'version' of Abracadabra?  It's sounds remarkably like it to me 
and I find that quite an eerie thought!!!
