Annemehr:
Well...

I agree with your guess (snipped) that Wormatail left his own wand 
behind in the blasted street.  But I don't think it's impossible to 
believe that he had LV's wand with him in the Shrieking Shack.

After all, he was facing five armed people at the time (Sirius having 
taken Snape's wand from the bed), and I bet he didn't like his 
chances in a duel.  Instead, he took a calculated risk and went with 
the begging.

Besides, it makes him such a grotesque parody of Lily, facing death, 
declining to draw a wand, and pleading for a life to be spared.  I 
love it.
