Shelley:
Ah, but I think you might be forgetting Voldemort. You are right, we never 
see the process, but we are told that Voldemort clearly takes Dark Magic 
further than anyone's ever done before, and I think that very strongly 
implies that he created new spells to do it. Certainly, he took the soul 
splitting further than anyone had before, but the flying spell seemed to be 
new, and was simple enough the Snape could recreate it.
