Steve now:
I never heard Spock say it, but I don't remember all the old 
episodes. <snip>

Bookworm:
It was in one of the movies - Undiscovered Country, IIRC.  I can 
picture the scene, but cannot remember exactly what they were 
discussing.

Steve now:
I think the simplest answer based on the evidence from the books is 
that LV used the AK on Lily, but not on Harry, because HP remembers 
the green light after his mother's screams, but not another green 
light after that.

Bookworm:
Are you saying that the AK bounced off Lily (due to the Ancient 
Magic?) then hit both Harry and Voldemort?  If there was another 
spell, either AK or something else, after the one Voldemort cast at 
Lily, there should have been something to show for it from the 
Priori Incantatem.
