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.
