Oh, sorry. I'm suggesting that AFTER it became clear that he did
NOT open the Chamber of Secrets, but in fact it was Tom Riddle, later
Lord Voldemort, he should have been able to get a wand. OR, do
wands ONLY go to graduates of Hogwarts --- and the students have
them on probation? Do the drivers of the Knight Bus (our 
representatives of the Wizard proletariat) have wands?
