Kelly L. again:

Thing is, I think Voldemort already has his wand back.  
Otherwise, the wand he used in the graveyard would not have 
locked up with Harry's in the way that it did.  He must have had 
his old wand, his Fawkes-feather wand, by then.

What I think is that Hagrid had it up until the end of PoA.  
Pettigrew had three years to figure this out--he saw it lying 
around, perhaps, on one of Ron's many visits to Hagrid's hut.  
When he pretended to have been eaten by Crookshanks, he 
went to Hagrid's hut to look for the wand.  That's why he was 
found there just before all the trouble broke out.  He wasn't able 
to steal the wand then, because H/R/H found him.

When he escaped next, after he had been revealed by Lupin and 
Sirius, he went *back* to Hagrid's hut, got away with stealing the 
wand this time, and returned it to Lord Voldemort.

Or at least that's what I think happened, IMHO.  :)
