As far as I know, this is a new and original suggestion. I can't 
think of any objection to it. Hagrid is able to do magic with his 
umbrella, such as making the boat from the Dursleys' hide-out island 
propel itself, and it seems like Hagrid and Peter are such very 
different personalities that it seems unlikely that one could get 
good results from the other's wand, but it also seems unlikely that 
one could get good results from a wand which had been snapped in two.
