What happened to the failed Avada Kedavra, did it simply dissipate?  I
don't think so.  I think that since the Avada Kedavra was unable to
complete its job, it (or rather, the energy of it) has been hanging
around, held between Harry and Voldemort and making an active
connection between them.  Both Harry and Voldemort can travel along
this connection: this is what enables Harry to feel Voldemort's
emotions and be Voldemort in his dreams, and it is what enables
Voldemort to plant ideas in Harry and see out of his eyes.  It gives
Harry his special knowledge and his connection to the Heir of
Slytherin that enables him to open the Chamber of Secrets.

  I think the AK curse did do its job in the terms of destroying Riddle's original body.  It is referred to as the "killing curse" and it did, in fact, kill Voldemort's body.  Now, I agree with you that this created an incredibly strong connection between the Dark Lord and the Boy Who Lived.  However, I have a different theory.
   
  We know that Voldemort transferred some of his powers to Harry when he was given that scar.  I.e. Harry can speak and understand parseltongue.  Also, I believe that Voldemort had intended on making his final horcrux with Harry's murder, but Harry didn't die.  My question is this:  What happened to the item Voldemort intended to use as the horcrux to contain that final piece of soul?  AND, what happened to that shred of soul when no one was there to place in the intended horcrux?

The connection is active and holds energy.  Its emblem is Harry's
lightning bolt scar.  This is very interesting because a lightning
bolt is a sign of power (as in, High Voltage in the context of
electricity).  So my proposition is this: when Voldemort's final
Horcrux is destroyed, Harry and Voldemort will cease being equals
because Voldemort will again be mortal.  This will break the symmetry
between them, and the energy that has been held between them all these
years from the failed Avada Kedavra will then be able to complete its
job: it will rebound on Voldemort, from Harry.  If Harry is physically
near Voldemort when this happens (either must die at the hand of the
other), it will probably kill Voldemort.

  This brings up a theory (which is not entirely my own, it was first proposed on another HP group by someone else) that Harry's scar may contain that final piece of Voldemort's soul, which is how Harry received some of Voldemort's powers.  There are many arguments for and against this theory, but I think it warrants some serious consideration.  It just MAY be possible.
   
  Additionally, the part of the prophecy that Peggy quotes here (either must die at the hand of the other) suggests to me that only Harry can kill Voldemort, and only Voldemort can kill Harry.  I have theorized before (again on another group) that this suggests that if ANYONE other than Voldemort kills Harry, then Voldemort may indeed die as a result and vice versa.
   
  I cite specific examples, such as the graveyard scene in GoF, the Dark Lord insists on killing Harry himself and not allowing anyone else to do it.  I don't think this is just pride talking here.  Also, in OotP, when Lucius stops (I believe) Bellatrix from cursing Harry in the MoM.  I don't think it was just the prophecy Lucius was worried about.
   
  Conversely, Dumbledore has always insisted that this mission is Harry's and Harry's alone.  Again, in OotP when they Order was battling Voldemort and his minions in the MoM, why didn't Dumbledore kill Voldemort then?  And why did the hex he used on Voldemort seem to affect Harry so badly?  I don't think it was just a simple case of possession there.  I think there is more to it.
   
  And I think the most significant thing regarding this theory is the blood that was transferred to Voldemort from Harry when he was resurrected.  This links them not only by death, but now by blood. This makes their bond even stronger.  I'm sure this will prove to be a weakness Voldemort did not anticipate.
