My impression was that this has to do with the Horcruxes-- the hint
here is that we need to find out the reason Voldemort lived when hit
with the rebounding AK.  We know (sort of) the reason Harry lived was
because of his mother's love/sacrifice for him.

Now, we know the reason that Voldemort lived-- because he had split
his soul into 7 pieces using the Horcruxes.  When the AK hit him, it
destroyed his body, but not his soul because it was in the horcruxes.

Here's my question-- when people get AKd, their bodies don't
disappear, right?  So, where did Voldemort's body go? (Didn't they
find James and Lily's bodies in the rubble?  They certainly found
Harry's).  That leads me to either believe there is more at work here
than just the horcruxes, OR, someone was there to carry Voldemort's
body away...
