Harry's powerful, too - the things he does without knowing it: 
growing his hair, transfiguring hand-me-down sweaters(unless it was a 
shrinking spell) - levitating/apparating onto the school roof... 
before he had a wand!

A phoenix-core counts for a powerful wizard, I think, due to a 
phoenix being powerful magical creature.

For Harry to use his powers fully, he needs a powerful wand to carry 
it- or it'll break and backfire like Ron's worn-out, broken wand did 
with Lockhart.

Hmm... Dumbledore is also famed as powerful wizard - possibly he has 
also a phoenix-wand? Only not from Fawkes.
