Valky:
The third trial under the trapdoor PS/SS - Harry has a knack for
spotting things others don't see, like his mother who could 'see the
good in people especially when that person couldn't see it for
themselves'(Lupin in the MTMNBN version of POA)
Its what Harry can 'see' that LV doesn't know is stronger magic than
anything he could possess.

Valky:
The clue trail...
1. The AK was aimed at Baby Harry's head and left a big scar that now
connects Harry to Voldemort like they were one person.
 
2. LV sees 'himself' in Harry!! (ie the reason he went after Harry
instead of Neville, in COS Tom says he sees likeness etc)

3. Baby Harry looks up at someone who sees himself in Harry with his
special ability to see things that others can't. 

Conclusion --- Baby Harry sees a man looking into a mirror!!!

Hence LV casts the AK on himself.

I should um... stop there... right?
