And Wormtail probably didn't use LV's wand for the spells he had to do
while caring for his master. Even if he lost his own during his
escape, by that time he already had Bertha Jorkins' wand.

There is one thing here though that confuses me. Wormtail met Bertha
on his way to find, as you call him here, Vapormort. If LV was still
without even his baby-body at this point, who then tortured and killed
Bertha? 

The only explanation I can think of is that Wormtail Stupefied,
Petrified or Imperiused her (with her own wand?)and then left her "on
ice" until he could restore LV to his baby!Mort form. It seems
complicated, IMO.

zanooda:

Crouch Jr. said:" My father was placed under the Imperius Curse by my
master"(GoF, ch."Veritaserum"). So it looks like LV performed Imperio,
unless he didn't use his own wand for some reason. This curse doesn't
have any physical manifestation though, and I don't know what Priori
Incantatem would show in this case.
