Harry & Lord Voldemort's Wands

Hello everyone! I need your help.  I am having a "disagreement" with 
my son about Harry's and LV's wands.  My son says that since Harry 
and LV's wands share the core from the same phoenix that their wands 
are the same.  Now I come back with "No two Ollivander wands are the 
same, just as no two unicorns, dragons, or phoenixes are quite the 
same." PS/SS pg 84 US edition. But Billy says that the phoenix is 
the same and I said yes but the wood is different.  LV's wand is 
made of yew and is 13.5" long.  Harry's wand is made of holly and is 
11" long.  Billy said that didn't matter it is the magical core that 
matters.  

Now I will tell you that Billy only has access to the HP books, as 
he is currently a guest of the Illinois Dept of Corrections, so he 
does not have access to the web or email but I am trying to keep 
his mind active and this is one way we have chosen to do it.  Please 
help me win this "disagreement" with my son.  As I have told him I 
was doing this he is really excited to find out what you have to 
say.  I will read everything to him over the phone that you guys 
post and any direct quotes from the books he can look at and I will 
send his answers back to you.  Your help is greatly appreciate.
