zanooda:

I don't know why I didn't think about the blood connection as a reason 
for LV to be knocked out, it seems logical enough, thanks! I mostly 
agree with your ideas, except for one thing. You say that AK hit the 
soul-bit instead of Harry, but I always thought that AK *had* to hit 
and kill Harry, otherwise the soul-bit won't be destroyed. 

To eliminate a soul-bit inside a Horcrux, you need to destroy the 
Horcrux (the container), that's what DD's book on H-xes states. Harry 
is the container, so he needs to die (be destroyed), then the soul-bit 
will be destroyed also. That's what I always believed, so your remark 
about the AK killing the soul-bit directly was unexpected for me.

I thought it over and came to the conclusion that you may be right, 
because it's possible that everything is different with Harry. He is 
technically not a Horcrux, even if he serves as a host for the soul-
bit. There was no spell cast to bind the soul-bit to him, so maybe 
there was no need for Harry to die in order to destroy the soul-bit 
inside him. 

I admit that your point of view is quite valid, but I still like mine 
better ... :-).
