GEO: What was used at GH was hardly a countercharm. It was a wide 
blanketing protection against Voldemort and his powers created by 
the act of Voldemort killing Lily. Countercharms and curses are more 
like spells that are spoken or used by the wand. What happened there 
was more of an unconscious magical act by Lily and definitely not a 
countercharm or curse.

GEO: And the spell wasn't countered. Remember it left a scar on 
Harry and rebounded and destroyed Voldemort's body and quite a bit 
of the house.
