up cutting off George's (I can't get to my book right now, and can't
remember for sure if it was Fred or George so sorry if I'm wrong) we
are told that they wouldn't be able to fix his ear because it was Dark
Magic.  Do you think it was just because they were unaware of the
spell, and didn't now the counter spell for it, or did I miss something?

Molly eventually stopped George's bleeding.  We aren't told which
spells, if any, that she used.  Snape with the singing/chanting spell
was also able to stop Draco's bleeding.  However, iirc, while Harry
sliced up Draco very badly he never cut a body part off of him.  I
think if Harry had cut off a finger for example, Snape wouldn't have
been able to repair that injury beyond stanching the bleeding.
