in their wands?  JKR hasn't told us what was in Lily and 
James' wands, so I'm prepared to bet they both had phoenix 
feathers too.  And could this be an explanation for the 
mysterious 'Order of the Phoenix'."


I do not recall this being mentioned this way. 
If the Order has relation to wand cores then Tom Riddle 
would qualify. Does Dumbledore have a Phoenix core? 
That opens a big can. Thanks, I like worms.
