Pippin:
I agree with the conjecture that Pettigrew didn't have Voldemort's wand
with him in the Shrieking Shack. He had to use Lupin's dropped wand 
to stun Ron. But  did he have time to retrieve Voldemort's wand
afterwards?

If he was so frightened his old friends would find him that he had to 
scurry to powerless,bodiless Voldemort for protection,  would he have 
dared to turn aside and  get the wand first? If he'd been found with 
Voldemort's wand and robes on him, it would scarcely have mattered 
that Sirius wasn't around to explain about the secret keeper switch. 

Also, I wonder about "It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off!" which 
Harry overhears in the dementor memory. Whoever  'him' is, 
it can't have been Pettigrew, because surely James and Lily weren't 
expecting  an attack from him. It could have been Voldemort. 
But would James really have said he could hold Voldemort off?"
