Now, me: 

Correct. But, It raises one question. Why was Voldemort not able to 
kill Harry when he was a baby. He did not have a wand then?
I agree that Lily sacrificed herself for Harry. But, what does that 
mean? Does that mean she came between the 'Avada Kedavra' curse 
meant for Harry & got killed instead or was it something else?
D'dore said something about LOVE. That is so corny. I was looking for 
something more logical.

Nom me:
Harry was using his wand while fighting Voldemort.
Voldemort ordered Pettigrew to give Harry his wand back!
Harry was carrying his wand when he touched the Cup.
