We don’t know enough details about how the Horcrux Network and the Special Connection between V and H work, but …
“OBLIVIATE!”
And it all poured out of Harry into the spell.
Harry fell over on his side, dropping his wand, gritted screams coming from his throat, his hands going helplessly to his scar, even as the sudden blast of pain in his head began to fade. Only dimly did his eyes see that the air was filled with glowing snowflakes, drifting motes of silver light like tiny specks of Patronus Charm.
… this is highly unusual for an obliviation, so I think it is very likely that V has not left his body.

Those are Tom Riddle’s memories.
It appeared to be clear to me that this was some sort of sign that the Prophesy had been completed.
It seemed strange, but that was my reading of the text.
That’s the resonance effect from casting a spell on another Tom Riddle, I think. (Was it also there for the transfiguration? Why not?)
While it would be amusing if the resonance created fire for Dark Lord Tom and mini-Patroni for Harry, I don’t think magic is quite that symbolic.
Magic is extremely symbolic. I don’t know if this is what EY intended, but it makes sense to me.
That attack wasn’t actually magic. Not at the point where he attacked Voldemort. He was literally pulling on a physical thread.
He was not pulling, he was transfiguring it shorter. And IIRC transfigured materials cause the resonance regardless.
But it was transfigured by Harry’s magic. There does not appear to have been a resonance from it, though, which surprised me.
I mean when he transfigured Voldemort into something to take with him. (That did happen, right? Or did I misinterpret that?)
Yes, and the resonance weakened as the transfiguration progressed. Make of that what you will.
