Ollivander in Book One: "And of course you'll never get such good results
with another wizard's wand."

That should answer that question.

Now let's see. If Dumbledore was a teacher when Riddle was a student,
and Fawkes gave two tailfeathers that became wands, there are a couple
of points - I *think* from a chronology i saw that Riddle was a student
*before* Dumbledore's meeting Gindelwald - in fact, before or during WWII.

So how long has Fawkes been associated with Dumbledore? It is entirely
possible that Dumbledore acquired Fawkes (who is after all in essence
immortal, as he is periodically reborn) frorm some older person yet -
whomever AD's primary Wizardly mentor was, for example.

Another thought on 'your mother's first wand' - some people might find
they need new wands upon graduation since they have changed and learned
so much, which is perhaps how Ron came to have the hand-me-down one. Bill
or Charley needed a new one for their jobs.

No answers yet, but these are food for thought.
