If I could ask JKR a question it would be 'How could a rebounded AK
destroy a house?'.
Surely it should kill the person it rebounded upon (in this case LV)
and that should be it!
If LV wasn't attempting to AK Harry, then the obvious alternative would
be he was trying to make Harry a Horcrux.
When you look at events, there is a certain logical flow to this
theory. LV kills James - presumably this encounter is 'duel-like'. He
has committed the murder to make the Horcrux. He goes to Harry. He
dismisses Lily (her death isn't important to create the Horcrux), but
her constant attempts to stop him cause him to kill Lily. Now it is her
death that is being used to create the Horcrux.
What happens if you attempt to make a Horcrux using a sacrificial death?
Perhaps attempting to merge the ultimate act of evil with the ultimate
act of love is not possible. The spell is violently ejected from Harry,
and this destroys Godric's Hollow and 'kills' LV in the process. The
scar is the remnant of the Horcrux spell that was ejected from Harry.
It is NOT necessarily a Horcrux, but some residual part of LV's soul
may have been retained.
This also leaves the possibility that LV remains one Horcrux short! As
I have stated before, the fact that LV was snake-like on the back of
Quirrel's head suggests that Nagini may have been a Horcrux before LV
entered Godric's hollow i.e. still one short at GH. I have also
suggested before that LV would have liked the idea of using Harry's
death to create a Prophecy Horcrux (important death tied in with
important object)! If this is the case, LV may still really want
Harry's death to create the final Horcrux - it also sets up the
possibility of Harry facing LV thinking there is a Horcrux left, when
in fact there isn't!
A final duel at Hogwarts with LV intending to make Gryffindor's sword a
Horcrux with Harry's death (maybe)!!!
