Harry does find his wand. Don't have my book for the quote, but to 
paraphrase, Harry is scrambling among twigs, and finds his wand just 
as Snape has made it past the gates and apparated. Harry then helps 
Hagrid extinguish the fire in his hut.

A wand has plenty of magical properties of its own - I don't know if 
it could be a Horcrux; and there is the question of when Voldemort 
would have access to a wand that came from the depths of Ollivanders 
shop. Or why the wand would have been significant to Voldemort 
before it was Harry's wand.
