I assume the reason the other wizards can't escape is a mixture of wards,and maybe apparation wasn't studied back then, but surely Snape and Harry could apparate, or more so Snape, since Harry is underaged and probably couldn't do it anyway. Also, Snape should have been able to summon the wands when they were on their way to the jail. The wands were pretty close, and we see from HPatOotP that the wand still works even if you're not touching it, because Harry totally lumos'ed in that alley with the dementors even though he wasn't touching his wand. Author's Response: I see that you figured out the answer to the apparation question, from what you said in your next review. It would have drove me practically crazy too, so that's why I made sure to have a reason. As for the wand thing ... I always figured that you could not summon your wand to you. My reasoning for this is that a wand is a channel through which a wizard uses their magic, and so therefore, the wizard's magic goes through the wand and pulls an object toward the thing that the magic is emanating from - which in this case, is the wand. Therefore the wand would not work very well for summoning itself, as the magic can flow from the wand, and pull objects to the wand, but not pull itself to the wizard. I don't think it would work all that well, and only an exceptionally powerful wizard could focus their power enough to bring their wand to them. And, while Snape is powerful, I believe his talents lie mainly in the field of potions. That, and even Dumbledore seldom does wandless magic, and even so, wandless magic shows up far more in the HP movies than the books - and I nearly always go by the books. Anyway, that is my reasoning. And, yes, I know there is an occasion in Philosopher's Stone where Snape does the countercurse to stop Quirrell from jinxing Harry's broom. Lots say this is absolute proof that Snape can in fact do wandless magic. But ... I think that there is no proof that he wasn't holding his wand covertly, somewhere out of sight while muttering the countercurse, or something like that. Anyway, Thank you so much for questions! I do hope I sufficiently explained the methods to my madness. Cheers!
Great chappie. Author's Response: Oh it'll be a while yet unfortunately ...
Author's Response: Hey, glad you think so cckeimig!
Author's Response: Thank you, and don't worry, I won't take too long to update!
Author's Response: I know, I kbow ... it really is a horrible place to leave off, what with the uncertainty of their future! Thank you for the review!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! And no, Snape cannot do wandless magic in this case. I have always considered wandless magic as something very, very few wizards can do and there is little mention in the books of it, and so I don't usually include that. Even Dumbledore does not use much wandless magic. I know that in Philosopher's Stone Snape is muttering a counter curse to save Harry from falling off his broom, though I had always thought that that sort of thing required a wand as well, but you could keep it hidden or something. Anyway, I'm glad you liked Snape fighting for the wands, as I wasn't sure what people would think of that, though I do not think Snape would come quietly at all!
