Well, we know what AK does (green light, dead bodies without a mark), but
we *don't* know what happens when AK is repelled.  No one does, because it
never happened before. ;)  I always assumed that all the damage done, both
to Voldy's body and and the house as a whole was what happened when Harry
repelled the AK curse back onto Voldemort.


Andrea, who's written twice in one day now.  I think it's a personal
