I'm not quite sure how this fits in, but I've always wondered about 
where Voldemort's wand was immediately after the events took place 
at Godric's Hollow.  

Part of Voldemort's own description of what happened when the curse 
rebounded (from GOF) was as follows:  

..."Nevertheless, I was as powerless as the weakest creature alive, 
and without the means to help myself...for I had no body, and every 
spell that might have helped me required the use of a wand..."

So where was Voldemort's wand at that point?

In Voldemort's possession but unable to be used?  Or left behind 
when he fled and somehow later recovered by him?  

If it was left behind, we know that a "Prior Incantato" spell could 
have revealed some of the events of that night. (Such as the one 
Amos Diggory used on Harry's wand to determine it had been used to 
conjure the Dark Mark at the World Cup.)

So I'm just doing a lot of speculating, but it might explain how DD 
could have found out what happened without witnesses being there. 
Then the problem becomes explaining how LV regained possession of it.

I don't necessarily believe this is what happened, but thought I'd 
throw it out there as a possibility...
