 I  remember two examples of wandless magic, both coming from PoA.  
The first  occurs during the Shreiking Shack scene, when Snape 
conjures ropes (to tie Lupin?) and then, using his non-wand 
hand, /clicks his fingers/ and controls  the ropes, without his 
wand.

> The second occurance of wandless magic is also in PoA, but much 
earlier  and by a much more obscure character, and consequently is 
much more  interesting to me.  In the chapter when Harry goes to the 
Leaky Cauldron  (shoddy reference, sorry), the inn-keeper, 
Tom, /clicks his fingers/ to make a  fire in Harry's room.

Potioncat:
There is also at least two in SS/PS.
Quirrell hexes Harry's broom and Snape counter-hexes it. And from 
the way it's happening, I assume no one else (characters)  
understands what is going on.
