This is probably a tres stupide thing to ask, but why couldn't Sirius 
have just gone to Ollivander's and bought a new one?  The wand 
chooses the wizard, yes, but I could see the MOM destroying his first 
wand upon his imprisonment.  Surely a *second* wand can choose the 
wizard if the first is lost or destroyed?  Remember Ron's in COS?  He 
got a new one, right?  If Sirius could manage to purchase a broom for 
Harry while on the run, he clearly had access to his Gringott's 
vault.  Why could he not have visited Ollivander's for another wand?

Usually there is a gaping hole in my HP logic, which quickly gets 
gently pointed out by someone else on this list.  I'm sure you all 
will let me know if I'm wrong yet again. ;-)
