Steve now:

Not necessarily. Right before the duel between LV and HP in the graveyard,
LV cast both the imperius curse and the cruciatus curse on HP. But during
the priori incantatem the first spell out was the AK that killed Cedric, not
the imperius curse that should have been first. The only things that come
out are 'people' killed by the AK. Where are those other 2 spells? 

So Lily was killed by the AK. After that green flash HP doesn't remember any
more spells, not to say that there weren't more, just that he doesn't
remember them. I think that in the case of these 2 wands PI only recalls
successful AK's. If LV did use it on baby Harry, it rebounded due to the
ancient magic onto LV. If LV hadn't taken the immortality precautions he
would have been killed not just ripped from his body. As he wasn't killed,
the AK was not successful and not recalled by PI.
