Oh, and if the answer is in the Half Blood Prince or Deathly Hallows, DON'T TELL ME!!!! Just say it's there!. Thanks!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Priori Incatatem is a spell used to see the spells a wand has just cast!. Harry saw his parents and the last few people that died because they were his most recent victims!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Im can't remember this for certain because i haven't read the books in a while, but im pretty sure that priori incatatem recalls the last spell done on the wand!. I think thats how they proved harry's wand made the dark mark in the fourth book, as well as recalling the murder's voldemort made with his wand!. I don't think it has a real significance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That basically is a spell that when yooh use it on another wand, yooh are informed of the last spell that wand performed!. One example is:

1!. In "Goblet of Fire" Harry's wand was checked using that spell to see if he sent up the Dark mark over the campground!.

Hope this helps!!
