Reread the battle in the MOM, Voldemort and Dumbledore are doing it
strike for stirke.

Amusing yes LOL :D But not canon I'm afraid Phoenixgod :P

"Another jet of green light flew from behind thw silver shield. This
time it was the one-armed centaur, galloping in front of Dumbledore,
that took the blast and shattered into a hundred pieces, but before
the fragments had even hit the floor, Dumbledore had drawn back his
wand and waved it as though brandishing a whip. A long thin flame flew
from the tip; it wrapped itself around Voldmeort shield and all. For a
moment it seemed Dumbledore had won but then the feiry rope became a
serpent, which relinquished it's hold on Voldemort at once and turned,
hissing furiously, to face Dumbledore. 
Voldemort vanished; the snake reared from the floor, ready to strike -
There was a burst of flame in midair above Dumbledore just as
Voldemort reappeared, standing on the plinth in the middle of the
pool...."

".. 'Look out' Harry yelled " [NB:immediately as Voldemort appeared]
"But even as he shouted, another jet of green light flew at Dumbledore
from Voldemorts wand and the snake struck -"  

"Dumbledore brandished his wand in one long, fluid movement - the
snke, which had been an instant from sinking it's gangs into him, flew
high into the air and vnished in a wisp of dark smoke; and the water
in the pool rose up and covered Voldemort like a cocoon of molten glass."

*All from OOtP - The only one he ever feared.

Whether you think they are so fast it looks, to Harry, like they're
doing them all at once, or they simply are. Simultaneously casting is
OKay in canon.

IMO it looks like Voldie isn't nearly as good as DD at it, but since
its Dumbledore's plan that this canon needs to go to proving it works
for me.
