Why doesn't Voldie or Harry just get a new wand, or a 'backup' wand 
if you like.  I can't believe there is only one possible wand per 
wizard.  Another wand could conceiveably even be a better match for 
the wizard -- unless we're to believe that out of the thousands and 
thousands of wands possible, Olivander finds them the 'best possible' 
one after a couple tries.  I don't believe that -- otherwise why were 
early choices (for Harry at least) so wrong?  

I'm also wondering if Ron's power is significantly increased by his 
new wand.  His old hand-me-down wand could hardly have been a great 
choice for him.

Last, on the use of not-perfectly-matched wands, doesn't one of the 
books mention a store that sells used wands, potion-stained robes, 
etc?

laur,
wondering if using two near-identical wands, one in each hand, would 
amplify power, or just put out half per wand.
