Hold on, in GoF when Voldemort casts his AK a green light comes from
his wand which then connects to Harry's wand. And in a prior HP
book, Harry remembers seeing a green light. (forgot which book). So
whatever protection Lily has conjured for Harry it worked and
backfired. I like to think it's some kind of mirror effect or bounce
effect which then hit Voldemort. He should have killed himself,
except he'd been experimenting with spells and other stuff to make
himself immortal and thus was semiprotected.
