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.
