The Priori Incantatem would not have been possible if he hadn't had
his original wand. The wands would not have connected and the curses
would not have been regurgitated. Remember how we first learned about
this effect at the Quidditch match after Harry's wand had been used by
Crouch Jr. to conjure the Dark Mark. So why did Voldemort still have
his original wand? Perhaps he wasn't alone when he killed the Potters
but was accompanied by one (or several) of his Death Eaters. In any
case, he would not have been able to leave the place on his own after
the AK curse he had used on Harry backfired at him. Someone must have
been there to help him and this someone probably also took his wand
and hid it in a safe place for later use.
