About Sirius -- well, I think Rachel was referring to the wand he had 
*before* he was sent there. It also *might* be that his wand is 
currently in the saddlebag of his flying motorcycle. But that no, 
Sirius doesn't have one (unless he gained it from the saddlebag in 
book 4, or bought one in where ever he was or even *made* one). 
Haven't seen him with a wand since he used Snape's in Shrieking Shack 
in PoA - so it stands to reason he doesn't have one now.. but the one 
he *did* have... well, if Unicorn Hair refers to transfiguration, 
that'd be Sirius. (who *does* happen to be animagus).

My guess for his wand should he ever gain his freedom:
Unicorn hair, Olive Tree, 12 inches. Excellent for transfiguration.

Lupin-- special wand made of his *own* werewolf-hair? Or perhaps just 
unicorn (Mooncalf) hair. 13 inches.

I think Draco has a Dragon Heart String as a core. Being *Draco* - 
Dragon. Mahogany, 11 ½ inches.

 Snape - I think he has Dragon heart-string, too. It sounds like a 
potion ingredient!

Dumbledore - Phoenix Feather (Great Deeds + having a pet Phoenix)

Neville... I think he's using a wand of his parent's (what would 
*they* do with wands in St Mungo's). However, it doesn't suit him at 
all... He *might* do a lot better if he went shopping at Ollivander's.
Ron didn't have much problem with Charlie's - but *both* his wands 
had *unicorn hair*. If Neville should have Phoenix and Maple and the 
one he has is unicorn hair and willow, well. (Now really, there must 
be *some* meaning for Ollivander's comment about results and one's 
own wand; the other phoenix wand that didn't choose Harry; it *would* 
explain the Neville's suddenly found control etc.)
