  But I think it is interesting that Draco succeeded in casting the snake. As
  far as we know, it is not enough to know the incantation of a spell to
  perform it. So obviously Draco knew the spell, and Snape just told him to
  use it. We don't have background information (and I doubt we will get it),
  so we can speculate - maybe "Serpensortia" is kind of House speciality of
  Slytherin, the House of the Snake?

  Andie:
  We think that Draco cast the Serpensortia spell, but we didn't know about
  non-verbal spells back then.  Snape could have told Draco what to say and
  then cast the spell himself.  Who would know the difference?  Lockhart wouldn't
  know the difference and the rest of the group were just students.
  There wouldn't be anyone there to catch the "secret" spell.
