LizVega here:

Jo has made a few mistakes, but I don't think this is one of them. 
She knew before even finishing PS that one day LV would return, and 
he would need HIS wand- The wand containing Fawkes' other feather. 
She's been keeping it safe for him somewhere, perhaps the mystery 
guest at the Potter's cottage on Halloween was holding it for him? 
If it had been Wormtail, why didn't LV mention it when he was 
telling the DE's how he came back? 

Come to think of it, didn't Wormtail produce a set of robes, which 
LV pulled the wand out of, after he resurrected? Someone else was at 
the Potter's house, and it may have been Wormtail, Sirius went to 
his hiding place and he wasn't there, but then he went to the 
Potters, and he wasn't there either. Sirius didn't mention seeing 
anyone else there, but in the state he was probably in, he wasn't 
looking around.
