Carol adds:
I agree with Carolyn that he hid Voldemort's wand and used his own to
blow up the street. But note that he didn't have a wand with him,
either Voldemort's or his own, when he was forced back into human form
in the Shrieking Shack. He must have dropped his own wand in the
street along with the bloody finger and robes just after he killed the
Muggles. Don't ask me how he did all that--no clue--but the wand would
be further evidence that he was "dead" since dead wizards don't take
their wands with them on their "great adventure."

Carol, who thinks that Peter was more powerful than McGonagall gave
him credit for
