Whizbang here:

lol.  You may have to stand in line to flog that horse.  I've been 
in line for awhile now. ;)

Isn't it posible that Harry, being "the one with the power to 
vanquish the Dark Lord," was able to reverse the charm himself?  Or 
perhaps, the first strike could only mark him as the prophesy said 
would happen.  

I think that Harry is capable of wandless magic especially when 
emotionally provoked.  Being present at his mother's murder must 
have evoked powerful emotions in little Harry and may have triggered 
an emotional response that produced a magical effect at the same 
moment the AK was cast.  It's not impossible that Harry was 
attempting to kill Voldemort at the same time.  His spell rebounded 
Voldemort's AK, but Voldemort's immortality spells prevented his 
death, so ripped from his body and left less than the meanest ghost, 
Voldemort was left in a state that was "worse than dead." 

I suspect that the big V has been seperated from his life force 
which is now in the scar on Harry's forehead, probably as a result 
of whatever immortality spells actually worked.  He doesn't know 
himself.  This not only transferred his powers to Harry, making 
Harry his equal, it provides the connection between them that Snape 
speaks of in the first occlumency lesson.  

:) No wonder the  poor kid has headaches.  ;)
