Potioncat:

I can't come up with the canon but I think Snape has also performed 
wandless magic, and so has Lupin. (Lupin would have been in PoA, with a 
flame.) I think if a healthy DD had been wandless on the Tower, the DEs 
would still have been in trouble. 

Wandless magic has come up from time to time on this list. Seems like 
we ran a thread of examples a while back. If I remember, we didn't 
agree on some of the examples...using the possibility that the wand 
just wasn't mentioned in the particular scene. Is the group interested 
in resuming that look, or does anyone know the post numbers to the 
thread?
