How did Voldemort unintentionally make Harry a Horcrux?

Harry Potter became a Horcrux when the love from his mother protected him from Lord Voldemort’s curse. Instead of killing Harry the curse backfired and destroyed Voldemort’s body and all his power. In the course of this battle, Voldemort accidentally gave part of his powers to baby Harry as well as a piece of his soul.

Why couldn’t Voldemort kill Harry when he was being moved?

Voldemort was not able to kill Harry because Harry was the true master of the Elder Wand. And this is all Voldemort’s own doing. When he was rebuilding his body during Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, he used Harry’s blood to do so. Therefore, he took some of Lily’s protection into himself.
