I tend to think that, just as we all have different areas of gift, so do
wizards. Don't ask me to carve wood or weld metals...the results would be
tragic. By the same token, don't ask my husband (who could do the carving
and welding) to take up a hem or take the innards out of a cassette tape and
put them into a better shell; the result would either be tragic or, for him,
completely frustrating and discouraging.
So, I figure, some wizards have a natural affinity for certain types of
spells and charms. Lilly, for example, was a charms expert; she could
probably deliver a reasonable curse/hex, but it would be a lot tougher for
her than for James, whose forte was more in that line.
Hermione seems to like puzzles and logic and can work her way through some
very complicated stuff. Harry, OTOH, took off on a broomstick and flew it
that first day as if he'd flown for years, and it took Hermione a bit
longer, IMO.
Draco, who's been around Dark Arts and has probably played with similar
spells, probably has a natural affinity to work such a spell as he did.
Cheers,
Lee :-)
