bboy_mn:
Thanks... I try.

If you think about it, every stick of wood is like a snowflake in that
no two are alike. Think of the wood's grain; different density of
rings, different density of wood, different parts of the tree makes
each piece completely unique. Then we add to that the size and shape
of the wand itself. Each characteristic expertly chosen to enhance the
magical resonance of the overal product.

Now enlighten me on why, if Ollivander knew that V.'s wand gave Harry
the scar, and if he "knows every wand he has ever sold", why he didn't
know that Tom Riddle was V.! 

bboy_mn:
What makes you think Ollivander hasn't made the connection between
Riddle and Voldemort? It seems, in fact, that Ollivander is one of the
few people who has acknowledged that he does know that Riddle is
Voldemort. The fact that he remembers every wand he sold, and he
remembered that the Yew/Phoenix wand was in the possession of
Voldemort would seem to confirm this.

It HAD to be his same wand that he had, because of the "Priori
Incantatum"! Am I just tripping? Or did Tom get a NEW wand after
Hogwarts? HELP! This has been bugging me for weeks, and I can't get an
answer!

bboy_mn:
I guess it's possible that Riddle bought the Yew/Phoenix wand after he
became Voldemort, but I think that it is the same wand that Riddle has
always had. Of course, I can't prove that, but that's what I believe.


Just a thought.
