Avada Kedavra, or Going Out With a Bang

Any theories about the unusual effects of Avada Kedavra on the 
Potters and Peter Pettigrew? When we've seen it used (in GoF at the 
cemetary by Voldemort on Cedric and by pseudo-Moody in DADA class on 
the spiders), there was no explosion. However, we have read about the 
smouldering ruins at Godric's Hollow and about poor Peter being blown 
to pieces. Because of Harry's recurring visions of green light, we've 
assumed the spell used on the Potters was AK and I think we were 
meant to assume AK was the spell used on Peter (of course, Peter just 
transformed and scampered off, but whatever was done would seem to 
have appeared to be AK to most of the Wizarding World)
