That... makes sense. I'd like to know as well.
I suspect the author either didn't think about it - there is even a name for glitches in this series, "Flints" - or she hoped readers wouldn't notice. It's bound to make for some interesting fan fiction, though. ;-)
Wormtail was present at the scene of James and Lily Potter's murder when Voldemort lost his wand. It is possible that he hid the wand somewhere before transforming into a rat.
What? Wormtail was there? Where did you read that?
In Prisoner of Azkaban. Sirius Black was arrested for killing Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew) along with some muggles just after James and Lily’s murder, on the street outside their house. But it was Wormtail who killed the muggles and he escaped from Sirius.
Sirius did kill Wormtail. I did not recall it being so close to James and Lily's home and murder. But you're probably right! Thank you for clarifying!
Peter Pettigrew returned to the house and discovered the Dark Lord's wand in the wreckage (from Rowling’s official fan site) taking it with him as he fled the scene in order to prevent the wand from falling into the Ministry's hands and possibly exposing him as a traitor since all wands have a record of the spells they have cast and can be examined by those trained to do so. He would keep this wand in an undisclosed location for twelve long years afterwards, until the time when he could locate its true owner once again.
