Then DD is a fool then for all these years for trusting Snape.  Snape
was at Hogwarts at this time, and according to DD, was working for DD,
not LV.  According to DD, Snape already knew that the Potters were
targeted when he came to Dumbledore to renounce his ties to LV.  So,
Snape *did* know that LV was going to take out Harry, so he would know
who lives there, even though he was not the secret keeper.

Even if Snape was ESE and LV's man, he already knew who Harry's
parents were and that LV was targeting the Potters.  

Peter was the one who spilled the beans for the location and was
directly responsible for leading LV to the Potter's residence.  Snape
was responsible for bringing the first part of the prophecy to LV, but
was *redeemed* (at least in my eyes) for then working against LV to
prevent the attack.  

Unless, of course, Snape is really ESE.  Which we will know in 6 days!

As far as the wand goes, I still think it was Peter who retrieve the
wand - he wasn't *killed* by Sirius until later, so he had plenty of
time to get the wand and hide it.  And this is regardless if Snape is
DDM, ESE or OFH.
