bboy_mn adds his thoughts:

I've always been very suspicious of Hargid's wand/unbrella. I have to
wonder if the wand is ever broken. Perhaps Dumbledore help him
substitute a wand for the wand snapping ceremony, and kept his
original wand safe, or perhaps it was snapped and repaired. 

I think in the not too distant future, at least in Harry Potter time,
although probably not in JKR time, we fill find out the truth about
Hagrid's wand.

If Ministry and the school had been as despate for the truth as they
were for it all to end, I'm sure they would have all seen that Hagrid
couldn't possible have opened the Chamber. Although, I think
Dumbledore saw this very clearly, and told Hagrid to just play along
and the he would take care of him. 

Great man Dumbledore. A little strange, but great.

Which brings us to Ron's wand. I think Ron's wand could have been
repaired to make it sufficiently function for him to work in class. So
why didn't they fix it? Because he never asked. It's one of those
'life lessons' teachers like to give us. I also think Ron could have
done something to improve the looks of his shabby formal robes, but
again, he never bothered to ask anyone. 

Back to Hagrid again, regardless of what the story tells us, I have
never believed that Hagrid's wand was truly snapped.

Just some thoughts.
