I do think someone said, at some point, that "you have to have a 
wand to even get into Diagon Alley" or some such.  I don't 
remember in which book, or who said it.  But it's possible that it's 
hyperbole--maybe whoever said it just meant "you have to know 
your way around the WW to get into Diagon Alley."  *shrug*
