Peggy W:
There's a reason to think that Snape wasn't at Godric's Hollow.  In
the Spinner's End chapter, Bella asks Snape, Where were you when the
Dark Lord fell?  In his reply, Snape states that he was at Hogwarts as
ordered by Voldemort.  In this same conversation, he tells Bella that
she can confirm everything he tells her with Voldemort, who asked
exactly the same questions and to whom he gave exactly the same
answers.  If this is true (I know, pretty suspect where Snape is
concerned, so one at least has to formally question any information he
gives) then Snape was at Hogwarts, not at Godric's Hollow.  To have
been at Godric's Hollow, Snape either would have had to have a lot of
faith that Bella wouldn't try to confirm his tale with Voldemort, or
else Voldemort would have needed to deceive Bella on this point and
would need a motivation to do so.  The latter complexity, while not
too difficult to imagine, makes Snape's presence at Godric's Hollow
much less likely in my view.  I just don't see any motivation for
Voldemort to be in collusion with Snape on this particular point.

I'm still thinking, it's Wormtail secreting that wand.
