Geoff:
Priori Incantatem shows the result of a spell, i.e. Wormtail's hand, 
the "wraiths" of Cedric, Frank Bryce etc.

Since the Avadra Kedavra directed at Harry didn't have that sort of 
outcome, it has nothing to show on "replay". Would it show the 
spellcaster disappearing into a grey mist or something similar? I 
have my doubts.
