Monica again:
But Harry's wand attacked Voldemort himself, using the elder
Malfoy's wand. I don't doubt that Avada Kedavra would not have
even been considered as a possibility, although I question whether
it would have split his soul as the intent was not to take human
life but to destroy a soul fragment. I'm not sure it's that curse
itself that splits the soul, rather than just taking human life
(canon, anyone?). I think it's possible that Voldemort's soul was
split when he destroyed Snape, even though he didn't use avada
kedavra.
