Corrected entry: When the killing curse rebounds and hits Voldemort, you can't see the curse even coming within a foot of him or his wand.

Corrected entry: Normally, when you get hit by the killing curse, you fall to the floor dead and whole. When Voldemort gets hit, he dissolves into ashes, and doesn't stay as a whole.
Correction: Voldemort's soul had been so severely damaged by being shredded into the seven horcruxes that the small portion remaining inside him could have been insufficient to keep his body intact. It was also a resurrected body, and may have been weaker than normal, making it react differently to the killing curse.

Correction: The curse is killing him by breaking through the cracks in the wand, formed in an earlier scene. This is why his hand decomposes before the rest of him.
