aussie:
Let's look at the things straight after Harry became the "Boy who
Lived" until Hagrid takes him away.
LV may have gone to GH with DE without revealing his (***)plans
since an AK will split your soul, but a spell performed afterwards
can take that spit piece to make a Horcrux. (HBP - Slughorn's
memory "There is a spell. Do not ask me. I don't know" - so it is
not done instead of AK, but after)
Voldemort, with or without other Death Eaters, suddenly looses the
physical form he is accustomed to and becomes the whisp we see
later.
Look at it from Voldemort's POV. That was a radical change. He may
not have known, or may have been too shocked, to possess a DE before
they ran away.
LV was "reduced to something barely alive", but able to make a trip
to (*) Albania. (Let me point out, many of us would envy going that
distance for our annual holidays).
LV in GOF said, "Aaah . . . pain beyond pain, my friends; nothing
could have prepared me for it. I was ripped from my body, I was
less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost. . . but still, I was
alive. What I was, even I do not know","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."
Once he came to his sences, deserted by the escaping DE, he realised
he needed a wand, but the magic he could do wasn't enough. He may
have done something to the wand himself so he could return to GH to
collect it with a DE later.
Any Death Eaters who accompanied him would have run away scared at
what they saw. Someone had to start the rumours that LV was dead.
They were well known the next morning Vernon drove to work.
Hagrid (in POA at the 3 Broomsticks) said he got there before Sirius
because DD sent him (Maybe by making a portkey the way that DD sent
Harry away from the MOM at the end of OOTP).
Hagrid wasn't sent by the secret keeper, so would have been sent to
the right street, but not be able to find the house under normal
wizarding conditions. A Dark Mark flying over over a house in ruins
was not normal, so Hagrid could go in and rescue Harry.
Voldy had experience at hiding objects (ring at Molovo's hut).
Hagrid would not have found it at all, and others missed it too.
