Erm, I don't think that's  possible.
Unless my logic is faulty (getting old, getting old) the spell  that appears
directly after Bertha should be the final one he cast at GH, the one that
rebounded. Unless of course, someone else used his wand, which would
be a bit of a swizz IMO. For  the sequence  to end before we get to that
spell would require Voldy to be destroyed before tackling Lily and James.
Or it wasn't  the rebound from Harry that nailed him, but another spell
entirely.
Or have I misunderstood your point?
