Hmm..well, unless V-Mort had a different wand when he tried to kill little 
Harry on that fateful night I don't think Hagrid has his wand. Why? 
Simple...I don't Dumbledore could explain it a little better: 

"Priori Incantatem...Harry's and Voldemort's wand share cores. Each of them 
contains a feather from the tail of the same pheonix....They will not work 
properly against each other. If, however, the owners of the wands force the 
wands to do battle...a very rare effect will take place. One of the wands 
will force the other to regurgitate spells it has preformed-in reverse." 
(GoF: Ch 36)  

That couldn't happen if Hagrid had Voldie's ORIGINAL wand. 

Though...I do wonder if he has his own wand. After all, after seeing what 
happened with Ron's broken wand you'd think Hagrid's wouldn't work so well. 
Unless there's a more effective way to put a wand back together than 
Spell-o-tape?
