Voldie's Wand and other details

Asked before, and got no answer, so trying again:

*How did LV regain his wand?*

When the events at Godric's Hollow were over, Harry's parents were 
dead and Voldemort had become Vapormort.

We just had comment about doing magic with a wand; Dumbledore's 
powers being perhaps diminished due to a damaged wand hand; a wizard 
doing magic holding a wand with his toes if he had no hand ..... but 
we know the Vapormort stage of LV's career left him unable to use a 
wand .... {He said so himself while recounting his history.}

*Where was Voldermort's wand in his years of exile?  How did he later 
recover it?*

The question is followed by the most obvious speculation:

Peter Pettigrew was the one who betrayed the Potter's location to 
LV.  So possibly, even *probably*, Pettigrew was present at Godric's 
Hollow.  He could have retrieved LV's wand {and the intended Horcrux 
object as well} after the house "blew up" and LV lost his body. {Or, 
some other Death Eater present could have done so ... as we have no 
specific knowledge as to who might have been present .... but clearly 
it had to have been someone in LV's camp; and someone who knew that 
LV was not dead, finished, too; best alternative to Pettigrew would 
be Barty Crouch Jr., because other candidates, such as Malfoy Sr were 
ready to write LV off.}

But then Pettigrew fakes his own death  {strange parallel} by 
"blowing up" a street full of Muggles, leaving behind his severed 
finger to indicate he was killed, thus ensuring no one will seek him 
in hiding and framing the one person who could have fingered 
{*snicker*} him {Peter} as the traitor ..... his act sends Sirius 
Black to Azkban, where no one will listen to the truth, that Peter 
was the real Secret Keeper, and the traitor, not Sirius.

*So how did Peter Pettigrew manage to keep possession of his own 
wand, much less hang on to the wand of LV for his master?*

As for the time of Hagrid's arrival at the Dursely's:

Dumbledore had to learn of the events at Godric's Hollow, and decide 
what to do; then Hagrid had to  be summoned by Dumbledore and 
assigned his task; Hagrid had to go to Sirius Black to borrow his 
motorcycle {was that at Grimould Place, London? Or some other 
residence of Sirius'?  Where?}; then go to Godric's Hollow {on the 
borrowed bike}; then search through the rubble of the ruined house 
and extricate Harry {no problem, says Hargid, but how long did it 
take?}; and only *then* could he begin his journey to the Dursely's.

Seems to require more than 4 or 5 hours to me ....

There are a lot more troubling "out of time" issues in Potterverse 
than this to me .... for one simple example, the Chamber Of Secrets 
was supposedly made, and hidden, in the era of the founding of 
Hogwarts ... about 1,000 years ago from present day.  So how could 
the hidden passage to the chamber be in a modern-day girls' bathroom 
through the plumbing of a sink?  Were wizards using modern bathrooms 
1000 years ago?

Now *theres* an issue of time-out-of-place to chew over.
