Here's my new theory on this: It happened this way because Voldemort only
expected one person (Harry) to come through the Portkey, and since he
(Voldemort) was just waiting, wrapped in blankets, for the Placing In The
Cauldron Process to begin,a nd since the two of them had planned it that
Wormtail would need Voldemort's wand to tie harry up & set the fire for the
potion, etc., wormtail was using the wand (since he didn't have one of his
own) and therefore, Voldemort was in no position to use his wand to kill The
Unexpected Cedric, because he'd let wormtail hold/use it.
