> I'll bet that Dumbledore's wand has a tailfeather from Fawkes in
it. Which would make it a brother to Voldy's and Harry's.

That would depend on Ollivander not having told the truth when he said
that the phoenix who had given the feather for Harry's wand had given
two feathers, only two.

Ollivander might have simply not known, if Dumbledore's wand had worn
out or been broken and he had a replacement made by one of the foreign
wandmakers.

I'm still wondering if wands wear out - Ollivander told Harry that
it seemed like only yesterday that Harry's mother was coming for her
'first wand', which sounds like they wear out sooner than the average
wizard/witch does. Even if wands take a very long time to wear out,
Dumbledore has had a very long time to use his, and also presumably put
it through a lot of heavy use, like defeating the evil wizard Grindelwald.

Speculation: Maybe it was broken in that battle.

More speculation: so he had a new wand made by Gregorevitch, who was
conveniently close to the hypothetical battleground in Central Europe,
and plucked a feather from Fawkes because Gregorevitch had been separated
from his magical ingredients by the war.
