E.T.-
     All valid points...I'm just sort of playing around with the 
possibility.

     Even if Harry and Voldemort didn't appear during a PI, it 
doesn't seem like it would be difficult to deduce parts of the story 
from what did appear.  Harry was still alive & his parents were 
dead.   The PI would just give positive evidence that it was 
Voldemort's wand that had killed them.  DD wouldn't need the brother 
wand because you don't need it to perform a PI...Amos Diggory 
performed one on Harry's wand at the World Cup.  Also, & most 
importantly, DD already knew the prophecy & how it said that LV 
would "mark" the child involved. Assuming Lily was left where she 
fell, it would have been obvious she died while trying to protect 
Harry. DD would have asked himself what could have saved Harry.  I 
think it could have been put together easily enough even without a 
PI.

But I do think you're absolutely right that if DD had ever come into 
possession of LV's wand, he certainly wouldn't have allowed it to 
fall back into evil hands.....so he most likely never had it.

E.T.
