Tammy replies:

JKR herself said that conjured objects don't stay around that long -
"There is legislation about what you can conjure and what you can't.
Something that you conjure out of thin air will not last. This is a
rule I set down for myself early on."

Thus, if Wormtail's hand is staying around, it must be because it was
specifically manufactured by someone at some point. Maybe it's sort of
like the food issue, the food stays because the food is cooked by the
house elves and it's just "conjured" up to the hall. Perhaps the hand
was made beforehand. Amputations have to happen in the magical world
too, perhaps it's just a matter of getting the hand from it's storage
place, which would mean it doesn't qualify as a conjured item.

Becki has an idea;
First I have to add the dreaded disclaimer about someone else having this idea.  I am so far behind, catching up slowly, but this post got me thinkin'.
Perhaps the hand was not conjured out of thin air.  Actually, the hand was still in the pot.  Could LV have just transfigured it into silver, just changed its properities?  (my 10 year old is studying matter right now)
Just another of a long line of theories.

Becki, trying so hard to get caught up.
