Voldemort, at least to the house at Godric's Hollow to show him the location
and break the charm (yes, I know he could have written it down, but I think
Volde would make him come along). Peter then could have witnessed
everything and after it was all done, have retreived the wand (maybe he even
has other wands-- Lily's and James'???)

could not possess and wield a wand so someone had to have saved it from
the wrecjkage at GH and then given it back to him by the beginning of GoF
(when the wand is used to kill Frank Bryce). There are only two options:
Crouch and Wormtail (or anyone of several ESE: Snape, etc). As Crouch is
dead and gone, I see Wormtail as the most likely candidate.

Witness to LV attack on Harry at Godric's Hollow). If both Pettigrew and
Frank Longbottom witnessed the attack, that would explain why the Death
Eaters thought the Longbottoms knew where Voldemort was - Pettigrew
would have told them he saw Frank there.

that attack have emerged from the wand at the end of The Goblet of Fire
along with Harry's parents, Cedric, et al? Everyone who had died through the
use of that wand emerged from it, starting with the most recent deaths. The
scene with Sirius and Pettigrew happened after Harry's parents died;
therefore, the Muggle victims would have come out of the wand before them,
if in fact the wand had been used. Since they did not, it seems to me that this
is solid proof that Pettigrew did not use Voldemort's wand. What do you
think?

ME: (Arya again)
I say that if the spel that Pettigrew cast with the wand was like a reducter
curse or some other thing that just 'blew up the street' and only killed people
as a result of the explosion, then, no we would not see all these people
coming out of the wand. We see people who were killed directly by the killing
curse.
During Priori Incantatum, we see the solvery hand that voldemort conjured for
Peter, we hear the screams of those tortured under the cruciatus and we see
the shadows of those killed by the killing curse. Every spell there is probably
doesn't have a reverse effect to see-- for example, what would you see for
Wigardium Leviosa or for alohamora? Whatever it was that Peter may have
cast that day when Sirius was apprehended, I think it very plausible that it
didn't have a Priri Incantatum efffect for us to see or one that Harry noticed.
