I think the fact that Fawkes only gave up two feathers has something 
to do with it too. I would imagine -- no canon, just imagining -- 
that if Fawkes or some other creature had 10-20 feathers, hairs or 
whatever out there in wands, the effect when two of the wands met 
would be lessened.

Here's another thought... 

I wonder how long Dumbledore has had Fawkes? Because I wonder if 
Dumbledore, smelling trouble with Tom Riddle back in the 40s, called 
Ollivanders, asked which bird's feather was in Riddle's wand, and 
made a point of having one more, and only one more, feather plucked 
for a future wand. And then he took in the bird.

No canon, just a thought.
