 A minor quibble - Neither the flying pudding nor, IIRC, Blowing up 
Aunt Marge were done with a *wand*. I think the ministry has some way 
to track all magic done anywhere, but it seems unlikelier that they 
can track the activities of a certain wand, especially from afar. If 
they could, tracking down Voldemort or DD would have been much 
easier, and they could have been able to notice LV return, or spot 
Kingsley doing an Imperius in the middle of a meeting of Funde and 
DD, etc.
