But, dead people don't go shopping. In order to pretend his "death" 
Pettigrew would have had to leave his wand behind. He's using 
Voldemort's wand because he doesn't have one of his own and because 
he's acting on Voldemort's order. Dumbledore tells the children that 
Lord Voldemort murdered Cedric Diggory. It's not a lie; it just shows 
something about commands: It's the one giving command who's *doing* 
it, the one obeying is just a tool - or a piece in wizard chess.

Dumbledore himself *never* gives orders. "I must ask of you" is 
strongest suggestion to command he ever gives out - or did I miss 
something? After all, when it's a request, it's much easier to stop 
in case you change your mind on new information/some other reason... 
we'll see what will happen.
