Hi, Hey do you remember in DH when Harry went into the Forbidden
Forest to allow hiself to be killed. Well he died to protect the
others, the same spell Lily did for him. (p.738 DH). So when Tom
casted his spell it had no force or strength plus it was Harry's
wand, which was not going to fully attack his Master.(Remember in the
forest when Tom was playing with his body, Harry didn't feel a thing)
I believe Harry's curse was much more powerful and it connected to
Tom and when the Elder Wand started twirling in the air along with
the Avada Kadava spell it hit Tom. Why only Tom? because Tom was not
protected by Harry's protection.
Hopes this helps.
