Also, in OoTP, he lights his wand, even though it's several feet away 
from him.  (In his desparation to fight the Dementors, he 
mutters, "Lumos" after Dudley punches him and the wand drops.)  It 
makes sense to me that a highly emotionally charged incident would make 
wandless magic happen.  Desperate times...
