I've been thinking about this. It is rare that the PI would happen, so
I'd think that not many people would know about it, as you suggested.
How would D know about it? We know he's powerful, and knowledgeable -
enough to bring down Grindelwald. I'm beginning to wonder if there was a
link between Grindelwald and D, just like Harry and V? Perhaps G and D
had brother wands? 

I completely agree that it wasn't mere coincidence.
