Tonks:
Maybe it is because of the power that is in DD. He is the most 
powerful wizard of the age.  So the AK met this personal power of 
the most powerful wizard.  One could speculate that Snape used a lot 
of power himself to do the job, but I think it is the power within 
DD that exploded.  The others that have been AKed were not as 
powerful.

If we remember that in real wizardry, which JKR has undoubtedly 
researched, the wizard has his own developed power and the ability 
to harness the power of the universe.  So there would be a 
tremendous amount of power within DD.  Also I think that DD even 
weak, perhaps dying of poison, without a wand could have defended 
himself even then.  It would have been a simple thing for him, 
powerful as he is.  I think that he allowed himself to be killed.  I 
don't believe that anyone could have killed DD if he had not allowed 
it to happen.
