One thing Voldemort cannot understand is love. Severus Snape has always loved Lily Evans (Potter at this point) and when he discovered that Voldemort was going to kill the Potter's which would include her he begged that she be spared. However, when Voldemort broke into the room Lily refused to step out of the way even though Voldemort, remembering Severus's begging, gave her the chance. Thus Lily gave up her life for her son's out of love. This provided Harry with protection and Voldemort, being so coldhearted, couldn't kill Harry and his spell was backfired.

Voldemort's soul was so unstable when he killed Lily and James that the last segment of his soul fought for its own survival by adhering to the infant Harry, the only place it could survive. Voldemort dissolved when hit by the backfiring Avada Kedavra he cast upon Harry.
