    I dont' think that the AK even touched Harry.  That is where we are 
running into confusion perhaps.  I suspect that Lilly's sacrifice 
literally shielded Harry from the curse.  The curse rebounded from the 
shield and struck Voldemorte or even a wall of the house causing the 
same type of explosion that we saw in the MoM.  As a result, of the 
explosion, Voldemorte's loose bits were blasted all over, one of them 
striking Harry. Since the bit of soul was not an actual curse, Lily's 
protections might not have prevented that type of injury.  JKR did say 
that it was the scar that was of importance, not the shape of it. I am 
interested as to why you believe that the curse entered Harry and burst 
back out. What do you think would be the internal mechanism causing that 
type of rebound rather than a deflection prior to penetration.

   Perhaps you could send me a fruitcake in order to test my theory.

Hopefully
