I actually brought that discussion up the other day with a few 
people. Priori Incantatem supposedly shows, in reverse order, the 
spells the wand performed, not the people the wand killed. Why, then, 
was there no echo of the intermediate magic VDM performed to get to 
various stages on his quest for resurrection? Possibly they weren't 
performed with his own wand, but how do you explain the lack of echo 
of the Cruciatus and Imperius Curses we saw him perform on Harry in 
the graveyard? And the Cruciatus Curses he had undoubtably performed 
on Wormtail for disservice, which Harry didn't feel because the 
connection was not yet strong enough? And then there's that tried and 
true question of why nothing came out of the wand that represented 
the failed curse. And then, consequently, what *should* have come out 
of the wand? Maybe an echo of the lightning bolt scar?

Some of these, probably the Cruciatus Curses, can be attributed to 
the screams of pain the wand issued between some of the echoes. But 
what happened to the others?
