One spell, Salvio Hexia, literally means "safe from hexes," but there is no canon that it was the spell they were learning in DADA class with Fake Moody. It is mentioned much later in the series, when Hermione is putting protective spells on their camping places while on the search for the Horcruxes (DH14).
