There is also no canon that I can recall to say that LV was at the 
Potters alone.  It would make sense that Wormtail would be on the 
scene since he would want to be on hand to claim his victory.  Just 
because we don't hear him in Harry's memory, doesn't mean he wasn't 
waiting right outside.  Once the attack was over, Wormtail could have 
grabbed the wand and ran off.  Since Sirius found him in town, who's 
to say he wasn't just returning from Gringotts where he stashed the 
wand in his vault.  If Sirius can retrieve stuff from his vault via 
owl, then Wormtail could do the same.
