Well, I certainly have wondered what happened to their wands, but more
so, what happened to all of their other stuff? Where is their
furniture, their clothes, their personal possessions, their keepsakes,
their mementos, picture albums, jewlery, their wedding rings, etc...

As long as we are on the subject, where are their graves?

What happened to their house, was it just damaged, or was it truly
reduced to useless rubble? Could it be rebuilt? Was it rebuilt? Was it
really their house or was it a rental?  If it was their house, does
that mean it's now Harry's house? ...mansion? ...manor? ...land
estate? ...traditional Potter family home or residence of a young
married couple? Is there a traditional Potter family home? ...mansion?
...manor? ...land estate?

These could be the kinds of things that a young boy never thinks of,
but Harry's not such a young boy anymore, and I have to believe at
some point he is going to want the answers to these questions? 

Part of the problem is he's never had access to any one knowledgable
person long enough to establish a relationship that would lead to this
conversation. Give that Sirius is gone, the only available persons I
can think of are Lupin and/or Dumbledore. Of the two, I would suspect
that Lupin knew more intimate details of Harry's parents lives, but
Dumbledore on the other hand could have more intimated details of
their deaths and the aftermath.

Question... Questions.... so many questions and so few answers.
