SPOILERS
At the end of BBS, Ventus's heart is lost and his body is left an empty husk. Because all of the darkness in his heart was Vanitas and thus destroyed, no Heartless formed when this happened and his body remained instead of becoming a Nobody.
His heart found its way to Sora, who had the uncanny ability to harbor other hearts (this is what really makes him special), and took refuge inside him. When Sora's heart is lost and becomes a Heartless in KH1, the body that was lost still had Ventus's heart. This is why it took his form, why he had real emotions, and why he could wield a keyblade.
This is also another reason why he wasn't allowed to go to Castle Oblivion (aside from the possibility of meeting and remergingwith Sora), since his body was hidden there. If he stumbled across his body, it could have resulted in Roxas losing his keyblade and emotions when Ventus's heart went back to him.
