Julie: Yes we've never seen an AK destroying a body but neither have we seen an AK rebounded. So as the AK didn't work on Harry it may have gained some power in rebounding.

Julie: I think it really was an AK for two reasons: LV must have killed James and Lily with AK and Harry remembers a green flash

>- Was it a superpowered AK meant to ensure Harry was vaporized?

Julie: I don't think so. LV had no reasons to make a super AK, he didn't know about the ancient charms Lily put to protect Harry and he only knew the beginning of the prophecy

Julie: As I said before I believe in the rebounding making the AK more powerful. About this body I wonder if it has something to do with his horcruxes.

p.s. excuse my English
