Potioncat:
In OoP, in the chapter, appropriately enough, "Seen and Unforeseen" 
around page 591. Harry casts a Protego that causes Snape's wand to 
fly away from Harry. It isn't clear if Snape loses his grip on it, 
but that's how I read it. Snape yells "ENOUGH!" causing Harry to fall 
backwards and break a jar. Snape hisses a 'reparo" but he isn't 
mentioned as raising his wand until after the conversation that 
follows.

It also seems that except during the Occlumency lessons, a wand is 
not needed for legilimency.
