My turn:

Love the visual of plucking Fawkes bald, Sev, but there must be some
reason they can't do this; some pre-ordained plucking statute or
something. 

But, just because the two wands can't duel with each other, doesn't
really mean that Harry and Voldemort can't duel.  Harry could get
another wand (when Ron's wand is damaged, McGonagall tells him it
"needs to be replaced"), although I doubt that this would happen, as
too much importance has been put on the fact that Harry was meant to
have this particular wand in Ollivander's.  Or, he could use someone
else's wand to duel.  Or, of course, he could just sneak up on Voldie
from behind and hit him with a zap or two when he least expects it. 
No duel required.
