zgirnius:
But we also have canon that you can kill the wrong target with the AK. 
A Death Eater died in the raid on Hogwarts when his colleague aimed a 
Killing Curse at Lupin and Lupin avoided it. The Death Eater standing 
behind him was killed. Presumably the caster of the curse either had 
some general hateful thoughts powering the magic, or was focusing on 
Lupin. Yes someone else was killed.
