>Now, was Harry's wand created before, at the same time, or after Tom Riddle's wand?  Did Fawkes give up >both tail feathers at the same time?  How long had Harry's wand been sitting on the shelf in Ollivander's >store?  Note: Tom Riddle had purchased his wand over 50 years before Harry.  Did Ollivander ever try to >sell that particular wand to any other wizard?  Was he waiting for the day when Harry would walk into his >store and did he just have Harry try other wands first so as not to arouse suspicion?


    I do think that Harry's wand was created at the same time as TR's. I have no canonical evidence to support this, mind you, I just think it's so. And so, I do think that Fawkes gave up the feathers at the same time, and Harry's wand was just sitting there. It seems, from SS (both the book and movie) that Ollivander has thousands of wands just sitting around. As the wand chooses the wizard, it seems that at the least the wand was made before Harry was born (or the prophecy made), because otherwise one would wonder if Dumbledore had Fawkes give another feather for the purpose of the wand finding Harry, in order to aid in his fight against Voldemort and be a particularly potent weapon. Of course, one could argue that that's *exactly* what happened.
