Trishfavalon asks;

>>In PS/SS Mr. Olivander says, "the wand chooses the wizard" and the tail 
feather from the same Phoenix was in Harry's and Voldemort's wand. If in 
fact, if it is the Phoenix that belonged to Gryffindor why would that wand 
chose Voldemort?<<

Wands have no moral sensibilities. A feather does not have a brain. The wand 
only senses that a particular child's magic is of the right frequency for it 
to channel. 

And in any case, the wand did not choose Voldemort. It chose Tom Riddle.

In the second thread regarding the wand, Anne asks, regarding Pettigrew:

>>As a side thought, I suppose he would have had to abandon his own wand on 
the blown-up street when he escaped. Maybe if he has a wand in GoF, it's 
Bertha Jorkins'?<<

The last thing we saw Pettigrew do before his escape in PoA was to grab the 
wand that Lupin dropped when he transformed. He could be using either it or 
Jorkin's wand (whichever works better for him.) He was also using Voldy's 
wand, until he was restored. Maybe he is making a collection...
