Brothergib:
That is certainly a good point! However, the first two examples are 
due to badly performed spells - something I doubt LV would be capable 
of. The final example is a spell that missed its target and hit 
something else. I'm sure the AK would be incredibly destructive if it 
missed it's target. However, in this case we know the AK struck Harry 
and then LV (if it is an AK at all!). 

As for old Lockhart, I'll need to check if it actually was the 
Obliviate charm that caused the damage. If it was, then that would 
make your argument incredibly strong since that rebounded spell did 
actually hit Lockhart as well!
