LizVega here:

Ah, there is absolutely no canon reference stating that anyone else 
was in the house. Knew someone would call me on that! The only two 
people that we know to have been there were Hagrid, on DD's orders, 
and Sirius who went there when he saw that Peter wasn't in his 
designated hiding spot. Neither Hagrid or Sirius mention seeing 
anyone except Harry and the bodies of his parents. The reason I 
believe there was someone else there is twofold:
 1. If no one else was there, how did LV get his wand back in GOF?
2. The house was destroyed, according to Sirius, and we know from 
other AK spells we've seen cast that the spell doesn't cause 
destruction, or even MARK the person. Wormtail could destroy a house 
though, he did destroy an entire street once!
