Avada Kedavra and Godric's Hollow

There have been a lot of theories about this lately, and about the 
question we should have asked,ie why LV did not die when the curse 
rebounded. But what occured to me recently was, why did his body 
disintegrate? Avada Kedavra kills without leaving a mark, we know 
that from canon. On the other hand inanimaate objects can be blasted 
by it and disintegrate (I think, does this happen to the gravestone 
in GoF?)and a killing curse sets fire to the concierge's desk in OotP.
So, in order for LV's body to be destroyed, it should have been 
inanimate. Is this possible? His steps towards immmortality could 
have ended in making his body into an object which his spirit 
controlled rather than a proper part of him. So the AK only hit his 
body, destroying it, but not the resident spirit.
I'm not sure about any of this, but the odd effect of the AK seemed 
worth mentioning.
