There is a lot of magic that surrounds Harry Potter and his life that is unprecedented. Mysteries of magic here to for unknown. No one has every survived a Killing Curse, with the exception of Harry Potter who has survived at least three direct hits. 

My theory as to how Harry ended up a Horcrux-like object, I will call the "Soul Shrapnel Theory". 

It was random change that when the curse rebounded on Voldemort and his very unstable soul, That one bit of soul was randomly blasted in Harry's direction, and hit him like a piece of shrapnel. Finding life, the soul shrapnel clung to it. And like a bit of metal shrapnel, the soul bit didn't just bound off Harry, it cut into him, and there if found life to cling to. 

Again, this is an unprecedented, unheard of, and completely unknown bit magic. 

Now other bits of Voldemort's fragmented soul also went flying off in all directions, then quickly reconstituted themselves around the remaining in tack part of Voldemort and his soul.

Remember, that all this fragments of soul, including Voldemort main soul, are earth bound, held here by the existance of Horcruxes. The remaining soul and soul bits constitute Voldemort "Self". Collectively, they are the identity that lived on and remained earth bound. These are the bits that collectively reconstituted themselves into Voldemort new body.  

So, in a sense, Harry was simply hit by some Soul Shrapnel, and once it stuck to him, it stayed stuck, it clung to the nearest and dearest life it could find, until the final book when Voldemort unstuck it himself. 

The Soul Shrapnel Theory of Harry the Horcrux-like object.
