Voldemort’s Killing Curse worked. Lily’s son is dead. The sacrifice magic hurt Voldemort and created a new person in Harry’s body from Voldemort’s mind, who we’ve been reading about ever since. The hat doesn’t notice this because it never met the previous Harry. Voldemort knows all this and is treating Harry as his mind-child.

So Harry 1.0 was overwritten by Tom Riddle 2.0, but this time Tom got a loving family?
I just realized that the existence of the Dark Side is evidence against this.
Harry would be all Dark Side if his original personality had been overwritten.
