There's been speculation on why Peter doesn't have his wand at the
end of PoA, and why he used Voldemort's wand in the graveyard. I was
re-reading it this morning, and something in the text struck me:
(Fudge Speaking)"...And then he (Peter) went for his wand. Well, of
course, Black was quicker. Blew Pettigrew to smithereens..."
(PoA, pp. 207-8,Scholastic)
This makes me think that to fake his own death, Peter might have had
*another* wand, perhaps Voldemort's since he was already defeated,
and may have destroyed the one in his robes when he caused the
explosion. I realize my theory has a hole: If it was Voldemort's
wand, where was it while Peter was a rat? I don't know, but I still
think he destroyed his own when he faked his death. Maybe he did use
his own wand, but was able to leave it in time for it to be blasted
with the rest of his stuff. Anyway, if V's wand winds up back with
it's owner in GoF, where has it been hidden, and who took the trouble
to hide it after V was defeated? Did Wormtail slip into Gringott's
as a rat and hide it in a vault somewhere? More questions I have no
answers to. Does anyone have any ideas?
