  I don't remember any mention of wandless magic, just non- verbal 
spells. Remember when D.D. lost his wand he couldnt do any magic. I 
believe that with the exception of emotionally charged kind of 
elemental magic, a witch or wizard must have a wand to perform 
magic. At least that is what seems to be presented in the books. So 
while Harry could get his aunt to blow up and set that snake on 
Dudley, I dont think he can do proper magic, the kind that he will 
need to defeat L.V. without his wand. Why else would "Expelliarmus" 
be so important?
