Vad är motkursen mot Sectumsempra?

Vi vet inte exakt vad motkämparen är, bara att det finns en.

Det viktigaste vi vet om det i canon (se HP Lexicon-sidan på så -called "Sectumsempra countercurse") är från scenen i bok 6, kapitel 24, där Snape använder det för att läka Malfoy. Som tur skulle ha det, är denna passage i boken tillgänglig på Pottermore :

The door banged open behind Harry and he looked up, terrified: Snape had burst into the room, his face livid. Pushing Harry roughly aside, he knelt over Malfoy, drew his wand and traced it over the deep wounds Harry’s curse had made, muttering an incantation that sounded almost like song. The flow of blood seemed to ease; Snape wiped the residue from Malfoy’s face and repeated his spell. Now the wounds seemed to be knitting.

Harry was still watching, horrified by what he had done, barely aware that he too was soaked in blood and water. Moaning Myrtle was still sobbing and wailing overhead. When Snape had performed his counter-curse for the third time, he half lifted Malfoy into a standing position.

"You need the hospital wing. There may be a certain amount of scarring, but if you take dittany immediately we might avoid even that … come …"

Så om allt vi vet om denna stava är att det är en incantation som låter nästan som låt och att det tydligen behöver utföras tre gånger för att vara effektivt.

Hälsningen av George Weasley i bok 7 (även omnämnd på ovanstående HP Lexicon-sida) händer utanför scenen, så vi får ingen ytterligare information från den här scenen:

Glad of something to do, Harry pulled him free, then headed through the empty kitchen and back into the sitting room, where Mrs. Weasley had staunched his bleeding now, and by the lamplight Harry saw a clean, gaping hole where George’s ear had been.

"How is he?"

Mrs. Weasley looked around and said, "I can’t make it grow back, not when it’s been removed by Dark Magic. But it could have been so much worse... He’s alive."

Det finns en, men Snape kommer troligen att behöva lära dig det.

Som vi vet har Harry lärt sig stavningen från potions bok som en gång tillhörde Snape, och Snape var "uppfinnaren" av stavningen. Det är anledningen till att Snape då också var uppfinnaren av motkursen.
