I'm not sure clarification is possible. I have, like you, thought and 
thought about it and become more confused as I have thought. It's a bit 
like watching the film 'The Illusionist'. Even after watching it a 
number of times I still can't see how he did some of the things he did. 
But he did them and the storu wouldn't have reached the end it did if 
he didn't.

It would have been good if the Potterverse had enough internal 
consistency for the 'blood tie' to be explicable, but it doesn't seem 
to have. It was it seems a unique situation in Wizarding history, 
didn't Dumbledore say that Voldemort and Harry had travelled into 
realms of magic hitherto unexplored. So I am prepared to accept now 
that it happened, the story needed it to happen so it did. It must be 
umm Magic!

I am also prepared for someone else to tell me that I just haven't 
understood it sufficiently.

To quote the Indigo Girls, who I happen to be listening to, or should 
that be To whom I happen to be listening.
