Hi,I'm new to the site, so as I'm at lunch & don't have time to 
search the archives to see if this has come up before, I'll just go 
ahead & ask...

In book 4, when Harry & Cedric are portkeyed to the cemetery & 
Voldemort gets his body back & starts telling his story to the Death 
Eaters to give them a major guilt trip, he has his wand back.  If he 
became almost a ghost-like creature when his spell to kill Harry 
backfired on him & by his own admission "couldn't use a wand to 
perform the spells that would have helped him" (that's not a direct 
quote, but you'll remember that bit of the story).......HOW DID HE 
GET HIS WAND BACK?????????  Did Pettigrew go to the Potter's 
house, but missed seeing the "spirit" of Voldemort, but found his 
wand & kept it all those years????  Was that the wand he had behind 
his back when he was confronted by Sirius Black on the street where 
he killed all of those Muggles & got away by transfiguring????
I'd love to know, as this is the only really serious problematic 
thing that bugs me about the Potter books.

Thanks in advance for any answers of theories you might have.
