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.
