Ok, sudden thought I hadn't really thought of before.  Is there any
reason to believe the LV was controlling Pettigrew, who was then
allowed into the house, and it was through Pettegrew that it happened,
and the reversal of the spell went somehow through back to LV without
affecting Pettigrew when it bounced?  Ok, maybe that doesn't quite
make sense.  Is it possible LV used someone the Potters knew to get
close, or would LV do the dirty deed himself?  We're still wondering
why the Avada Kedavra didn't come out of LV's wand, to which I am
still saying it had something to do with Lily's wand.  But perhaps
also could be Pettigrews?
