I made my gave my views on the 'wand choses the wizard' a few weeks
back. I don't want to bore people by saying it all over again. So here
is a link to post# 47614.

I believe that the wizard and the wand have a mutual harmony or
resonance, but I've also used the musician and instrument analogy to
explain the same principle.

If we substitue violin for wand, we could say a violin player will
never have such good results with another violin as he will with his
own. But that by no means is an indication that he can't play another
violin with great musical magic.

Just a few thoughts and an old post.
