I've always held with the belief that Charlie, a very out-doorsey type and 
interested in "Interestin' creatures" as he was, abused his wand severely by 
the time he graduated. It was still functional, but far from pretty. So he 
went to Ollivanders for a replacement with the advance money he got from his 
grant to study dragons in Romania. As such, he gave his old wand to his 
parents for Ron to use, so that they could put off buying him a new one for 
a few years and save a few galleons that way.

Incidentally, shouldn't we have seen Ron get better at most of his studies 
at the beginning of third year? He did get a new wand, after all, and one 
that's attuned to him instead of just a hand-me-down. So he's no longer 
operating under a handicap, and should be that much better at spells he 
already learned to do.
