Pippin:
But there's accidental magic, and it produces exactly the same
results as a deliberate hex.  In OOP,  Harry unintentionally
zaps Snape with a Stinging Hex and isn't aware that he's
done so until Snape tells him. 

In the moment when Voldemort saw his killing curse rebound
from Harry, when he realized what was about to happen to him,
wouldn't he instinctively defend himself in the only way he knew?
Could he not, by accident and unawares, have performed the
magic that would encase a soul bit in Harry?
