Yb, vocalizing her thoughts:
The other screams (#5) were from Wormtail. He screwed up and let old
Barty get away from him, so Voldemort exacted a little punishment.
(GoF, AmVer, Chap. 29, p. 577.) As for Bertha and #7, I never
thought about it before, but perhaps Wormtail did the
actual /torture/, using his own wand or maybe LV used a different
wand, instead of his own. People have remarked that wands seem to
disappear when Wormtail is around, so perhaps a different wand was
used.
