Harry's Growing Powers

In the OOP, during the dementor attack, Dudley whacks Harry and 
knocks Harry's wand out of his hand.  Harry,desperate, says "Lumos" 
and the wand lights up anyway, to Harry's surprise.

I don't remember any other time since Harry joined HW that he was 
able to perform magic without a wand (I know about the pre-HW days 
when the "weird" things happened without him meaning to) and I don't 
remember any other wizard except DD performing magic without a wand.  
Does anywone?

I take this to be a hint of Harry's growing power as a wizard, and 
perhaps a sign of things to come.  Wouldn't it be amazing, after all 
the discussion about the wands, if Harry could kill LV without a wand?
