Hello the_ghost_kitten,

As from newbie to newbie:-) Normally, Voldermort
should have died when the AK bounced off Harry and hit
him. I wonder if one of the protections Voldermort
took against death was to somehow transfer part of his
spirit into his wand, who was perhaps more resilient
than a wizard, especially because it had a phoenix
feather as its core. So perhaps the only thing that
survived was his wand, or perhaps the powers of his
wand; when Voldemort acquired a new body, the wand
came to being and could be used again. Peter used
Voldemort's wand to kill Bertha, I think, so at that
time the wand was already available. I don't know if
this makes any sense, but I cannot think of a better
explanations as to why Hagrid didn't pick up the wand
together with Harry, or if a DE was the first to
appear to GH, why he didn't kill baby Harry. Another
possibility might be that Barty Crouch jr was the
first to find Voldemort's wand and hid it, but didn't
want to kill Harry (either knowing that he might help
one day get Voldemort back to life, or because he
wasn't sure about what had happened and didn't want to
risk). I'm saying this because Voldemort had contact
with Crouch too in GoF - but I think this happened
after he killed Bertha, so I prefer the first theory.
What do you think?
