JKR said this August:

The first question that I have never been asked—it has probably been 
asked in a chatroom but no one has ever asked me—is, "Why didn't 
Voldemort die?" Not, "Why did Harry live?" but, "Why didn't 
Voldemort die?" The killing curse rebounded, so he should have died. 
Why didn't he? At the end of Goblet of Fire he says that one or more 
of the steps that he took enabled him to survive. You should be 
wondering what he did to make sure that he did not die—I will put it 
that way. I don't think that it is guessable.

Mac now: She (JKR) talks of a killing curse. There's only ever been 
one kind so far (AK) and I think that is what was attempted - 
remembering that LV's AK might well be MUCH more powerful than any 
other wizard's given what Bellatrix has said about having to really 
*mean* your unforgiveable curses.I made a post before about why the 
Harry AK didn't come out of LV's wand during the GoF priori 
incantatem replay but either JKR flinted it or else because no-one 
actually died (which is not to say nothing happened) then maybe it 
wasn't 'counted'.
