Me:

Actually, I believe Ron's hand-me-down wand already had the insides 
sticking out of it in SS/PS.  But you are right in that in CoS it 
gets broken in 2 pieces, the same as Hagrid's had been. (or at least 
it says in almost two pieces.)  But I'm thinking Ron's was never 
meant to be specifically for him, it was a hand-me-down, and it was 
used, with I think it was Unicorn Hair sticking out of the end of 
it?  So it was already pretty worn out.  I guess that goes to the 
theory of you won't get as good a result with any other wizard's wand?
