Wandless magic would then be unfocused, dilute, and weaker.  If you
want to carry the lens analogy further, then choosing a wand is a
matter of finding you "prescription."

Of course, before the end of GoF we learn that Harry's and Voldemort's
wands share feathers from the very same phoenix, but the wands and
their wielders are different. >>>>>>>>


Hello Jim; In Book One SS, we learn from Mr Ollivander himself "...The wand chooses the wizard, remember...I think we must expect great things from you Mr Potter..." (SS:P85USA version), however, we all learn at the end of this same book that: 

"we need a little change of decorations." *He (Dumbledore) clapped his hands. In an instant, the green hangings became scarlet and the silver became gold, the huge Slytherin serpent vanished and a towering Gryffindor lion took its place.* (SS p 306 USA Version)

This leads me to believe that a wizard can also perform magic with its hands; I believe that the magic that is to be performed, may depend on the grade or level of expertise of the wizard.

This is my two cents to your observation.
