As far as I remember, Hagrid's wand was probably mended, but wasn't it in the handle of his pink umbrella? Also, at the beginning of OoTP, I got the impression that Harry's wand was going to be taken and snapped. (pg 27) "Ministry representatives will be calling at your place of residence shortly to destroy your wand." Then Arthur sent Harry an owl telling him not to surrender his wand.
