Do you mean to say, that LV tried to use Lily's wand to AK Harry, 
but that the same wand had put a protection over him?  
Therefore, some damage (like the scar, house going boom) and 
protection (didn't kill him, hurt LV) occured?

That is exactly what I'm saying!  I figure somehow there may have been
a scuffle, and he couldn't reach his own wand, and ended up grabbing
Lily's.  So what do you think? If hers was excellent for charm work,
there's no reason she wouldn't charm it to protect her kids? 
"Childproofing" comes to mind as well.  :)
 
Jim remembers:
IIRC during the duel in the graveyard, when Harry's and Voldie's wand 
are having the Priori Incantatem effect, both James and Lily come out 
of Voldie's wand.  That wand was the wand that killed them.  (With 
Lily dead, even if there was a struggle, he has time to pick up his 
own wand.) After Lily comes out of the wand, came the failed AK.  
What does a failed AK look like?  See the discussion back at #103409 
and several splinter threads around there.  

I believe it was Voldie's wand all along.
