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.

If I may quote from my post:

Assuming you can take down the death eaters, I think the correct follow-up

and:

LV is way up high, too far away to have good accuracy with a hand gun.

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.)
