Rachel here:
Haha, no, I'm afraid I don't remember that.  I do remember, however, a time 
when Dudley was harassing Harry yet again (this is in Chamber of Secrets I 
believe, when Dudley is picking on Harry because it's Harry's birthday) and 
Harry starts muttering "wizardy" words.  "Abra Cadabra" may have been 
involved with that scene, but I don't believe it's ever brought up along 
with AK.  I'll side with you on this one :-).
