I believe I read somewhere that magic is possible silent and wandless-
obviously look what Harry did to Aunt Marge, to the snake in the zoo,
finding himself on roofs-... In the DD vs VM scenes neither seem to use 
audible spells.  Perhaps well trained wizards and witches merely have to think 
the incantation.
 
Paula now:
All good points, Trevor.  But canon seems to point to the fact that trained witched and wizards know how to CONTROL and DIRECT  their magic.  Remember Harry's first meeting with Hagrid way back when in SS?  One of the arguments that Hagrid used to convince Harry that he (Harry)  was had powers was asking him if things had ever happened unexpectedly to him.  But, Hagrid continued by arguing that Harry needed a real education.  Seems like the ability to do magic is like any other natural ability.  It has to be developed and directed.
