My interpretation of why the sorting hat didn't burn was the 
same reason Neville wasn't burnt. I think it is because the 
Elder wand wasn't working properly for Voldemort. None of his 
spells lasted. First of all, he couldn't kill Harry. That was 
partly due to his having Harry's blood in his veins and the 
wand not working. He couldn't keep the crowd quiet when he 
cast a ssilencing charm at them. and the hat didn't burn, 
nor did Neville. 

Just my interpretation.
