Buckbeaks wing, not a curse. I don't know exactly why... To me, it 
seemed that the only hex Snape sent toward Harry was to knock out his 
wand. No one knew exactly that the prophecy implied that Voldemort 
himself had to kill Harry -- or wouldn't have Snape kidnapped Harry 
or something to get him to Voldemort? I think within the gloating 
that Snape was also trying to warn Harry... or maybe even see if he 
could remember back about legilimency and know that Dumbledore was 
instructing Snape to kill him. Dumbledore obviously knew what was 
coming because a) he kept asking for Snape and b) Dumbledore himself stunned Harry to prevent him from interfering with what Must occur. Anyone else agree?

******** Yep, Me for one :)

Also, SS wouldn't let Harry use an unforgivable curse. Blocking him 
and instructing him to 'remember to close your mind'. OK so it wasn't said very kindly , but he was doing him a favour , big time. Sort of like, 'when it's your turn to fight LV not me, block your mind !' Sanpe don't do pretty but he has always protected Harry and knows his destiny.
