I made my suggestion.
Assuming you can take down the death eaters, I think the correct follow-up for despawning LV is... massed somnium.
We've seen somnium be effective at range in the past, taking down an actively dodging broomstick rider at range. We've seen the resonance hit LV harder than Harry, requiring tens of minutes to recover versus seconds.
LV is not wearing medieval armor to block the somnium. LV is way up high, too far away to have good accuracy with a hand gun.If LV dodges behind something, Harry has time to expecto patronum a message out.
... I think the main risk is LV apparating away, apparating back directly behind harry, and pulling the trigger.
I think you forgot the 37(?) Death Eaters pointing their wands at Harry. You also forgot Voldie's famed reflexes, and a bullet definitely goes faster than a spell.
Do bullets go faster than spells, or is it that it's faster to pull a trigger than to cast a spell?
We've heard of wizards dodging spells.
It's also possible that Wizards are fast enough to dodge bullets.
(In the movies, the movements are much too slow to dodge bullets, but I wouldn't count that.)
