i'm 200 odd messages behind, so forgive me, but if things can't be conjured
out of thin air, how does Ollivander conjure a fountain of wine from harry's
wand in GoF? (i don't really believe things can be conjured from nothing,
b/c like you said -- the weasley's wouldn't be poor.  i'm just wondering how
Ollivander did that, since he apparently didn't Transfigure anything).

Are the wizard folk able to magic up raw ingredients? "

I don't think that they are - otherwise the Wesley's wouldn't be poor (it is
hard to imagine they would choose it if they had a choice). And the fact
that 
they have a money exchange based system suggests that things can't just be
'conjured out of thin air'. Which works quiet nicely with the (very) little
physics that I know - energy must come from energy (or matter from matter or
what ever)

Like white sauce dribbling out of the wand (which always seems Freudian to
me). 

<g> I never noticed before.

With their potter seeding grant I'm sure that is only a short way in the
future.
