Bohcoo responds:

I have always wondered why the first wand with Fawkes' feather 
favored Tom Riddle. As the last remaining ancestor/descendant (ha) of 
Slytherin, why would that wand choose him? At that time in his life 
he had not shown any evil leanings -- or, had he? He arrived at 
Hogwarts with a hatred of his family, his Muggle father especially. 
Wouldn't the wand have sensed that? So, why did that wand choose him?

Who knows what would have happened if Neville had purchased a wand 
his first year instead of having to use his father's. Would the 
second wand with Fawkes' feather have chosen him instead of Harry?
