It seems that some people think there is some kind critical information at
stake with regard to how Voldemorts wand was returned to him.

 

I think it's irrelevant. Think of the conversations between V and Wormtail.
If he had saved the wand and returned it to voldemort he would have been
reminding him of the service at every opportunity. I suspect wormtail turned
up with whatever wand he had and when voldemort he was restored to his
limited body picked up the wand and screamed "accio wand". No need for a
mystery at all.

I used to think this....but I love the "snape is not so good"(i.e. 
not entirely on dd's side)....

so I would place Snape in Godrics Hollow.....this would explain why 
voldie thought it would be okay to put Wormtail and Snape together 
during HBP--thus far this is the only good thing I can think about 
voldy pairing them up(in Voldy's mind)..(in my mind a couple of life 
debt characters are the last two voldy should pair up) and we can 
go back and reread the books from a different perspective..(perhaps 
Snape had voldie's wand and that's why scabbers went missing but did 
not immediately hide in Hagrid's hut in POA(and complained later too 
that he had been robbed..by Harry of course)......he had to get the 
wand back first!?!?!? So scabbers retrieved said wand..and escaped--
I think it may have been a prized possession of Snape's....
(PP/Wormtail probably spoke of the "great virtues of snape" when 
going back to the "dark lord"; hence voldy was more readily to 
accept snape's lame excuses and take him back into the fold of DE's 
after Lucius' grave blunders'

If snape had said wand and did not destroy it....then one must 
consider if 1. Snape was waiting for voldy to return 2. a great 
souvenier 3. was planning to destroy Harry with it on his own.. 
4.he could wield it and become the "new" dark lord..

(who thinks that if james and sirius hadn't tormented snape 
so...that he truly may have fancied himself as the "new dark lord"..)
