SSSusan:
I do think it's possible that it wasn't an AK, but I'm not wholly 
convinced.  I also know this is not a very FUN answer, but I'm going 
to offer it anyhow.  I guess I've just figured that it's the powerful 
reaction of an AK hitting an ancient-magic countercharm like Lily's 
(and possibly some power of Harry's own) that caused the blow-up.  

Of course, that would beg the question of how Harry was physically 
okay, other than the scar, when all around him was devastation.  
Unless there was some kind of "outward blast" away from Harry?

SSSusan:
Ah!  Yes, this issue.  I was asking about this yesterday in #113520 
and have been disappointed that it's not brought in many two knuts.  
Here's a portion of that post --

>>We know DD believes the ability to speak Parseltongue was "given" to
Harry by that attack. Well, as others have suggested, what if Voldy
actually (accidentally, of course) put some of himself into Harry at
the same time, not just a stray ability or power here or there?

*If* [big "if"] Harry could unseal the Chamber because a bit of the 
Heir of Slytherin is inside him, maybe there are other things he can 
do because Voldy/Tom became a part of him? Maybe he can actually
CONTROL Voldy in a way he doesn't yet even realize?<<

Would still LOVE to know what anyone else thinks about this.
