Carolyn:
See posts 111434, 111437, 111473, 113036 for what Pettigrew might 
have got up to with the wand at GH and after. I don't know why this 
little detail that JKR let slip bugs me so much, but it does.

I think Lucius is the last person that Peter would approach to hide 
the wand, and there is no canon to suggest that Lucius has any 
knowledge of Ron's pet. If he did know anything about the MWPP 
animagi high jinks, he would know why they'd learnt to transform - ie 
that Lupin was a werewolf. There is no way Lucius would pass up the 
opportunity to make a fuss about a werewolf DADA teacher after all 
the efforts he makes to get rid of Hagrid over Buckbeak's attack. As 
it is, it's left to Snape to spill the beans at the end of term. Bet 
that gave Lucius cause to ponder as to where Snape's loyalties really 
were - why didn't Snape tell Lucius about Lupin before now?

Pettigrew must know a lot more about what happened at GH than has 
been revealed so far. First and foremost whether Voldie left a body 
behind, for a start. And if the failed attack on Harry was enough to 
destroy Voldie absolutely so there was nothing left, not even his 
underpants, why didn't it destroy the wand as well? 

My thought is because it had Fawkes' feather for a core - it couldn't 
act properly against Harry, in the same way that it failed to at the 
graveyard; essentially whatever spell Voldie cast at Harry didn't 
work as it was intended. Given Voldie's performance to date, it's not 
hard to imagine he overlooked this tiresome detail, or more 
interestingly, that he never knew which phoenix had supplied the core 
to his wand. I've a feeling he'd destroy the wand immediately if he 
had any idea.
