I was just reading the essay on wands in the HP Lexicon, and the
author (sorry, forgot her name) pointed out that each wand is
revealing of the character or abilities of the owners. (Unless of
course, the wand is a hand-me-down like Ron's 1st wand!) So, it
struck me as ominous that Ron's new wand is "willow with a unicorn
hair" when we already knew that Lily's wand was willow. I'm just
hoping this doesn't foreshadow that self-sacrifice won't be necessary
to save Harry again. Perhaps it simply reveals that Ron is noble
enough to sacrifice himself for another. After all, he
does "sacrifice" himself in the Wizard's chess game so Harry can
continue on to the sorceror's stone; and, he doesn't hesitate to go
into the Chamber of Secrets in order to try and rescue Ginny.
