Y'know, I think this is the first time I've seen that point brought up, that Voldemort 
was gonna be basically boiled to (un)death, like a bunch of turnips.  I don't think I'd 
have wanted my wand in the pot with me in that case.  In fact, I can't help but 
wonder what would have happened if the wand HAD been in the cauldron with 
Voldemort.  Would it have contributed its characteristics to his new body?  Would 
he be truly one with his wand, since it had gone into reconsitituting his new physical 
form?

I really like the idea that Wormtail had Voldemort's wand because it couldn't go into 
the cauldron with him.
