While you are correct that the Lifelong Learning Credit is nonrefundable, it can be used to pay any tax liability you have, so if you had withholding on your W2 or other forms, it is possible that the Credit is replacing that so you get a bigger refund. (It is a running total so it can change as entries are made so you may not get to the final results until you have entered everything.)
