I believe that LV's curse didn't rebound in the forest. If it did, 
Harry wouldn't have "died" and the soul-bit wouldn't be destroyed. What 
happened in the forest seems very different from the events in GH, when 
Harry wasn't hurt, but LV became Vapor!Mort. I think that the AK worked 
all right in the forest.

As for why, I only can guess that the curse didn't rebound because 
Harry himself wanted to die. OK, "wanted" is the wrong word here, but 
he *intended* to die, it was his choice to die, he didn't fight for his 
life, so the blood protection didn't protect him this time.

But I still don't understand what happened to LV in this case. If he 
wasn't hit by the rebounding curse, why was he knocked out? Why did he 
also had a near-death experience? It could be explained by the loss of 
the soul-bit, but then, why nothing of the sort happened to him when 
Nagini died? She was also a living Horcrux and I think LV had a link 
with her as well.


zanooda, who doesn't have the time to write more, but who agrees with 
Allie that the whole thing is rather confusing ...
