I have a good keyboard at home and I practice on it, but I always 
have to practice wherever it is I am playing before I actually play 
there.  It is a matter of familiarity.  With more portable 
instruments, (from flute to tuba) a person really can get 
attatched.  Others just play differently.  

I think it is that way with wands.  You get the "special" one, and 
no other comes close.  Of course there is a more magical aspect with 
wands. 
 
So Ron could use Charlie's (SS p. 100 US paperback)old wand, but his 
own would be better, once he got used to it.  Same goes for 
Neville. >>>>

This was the point I was hinting at in the beginning of this thread. 
Sirius performs magic with his wand in OotP practically effortlessly 
(i.e. the snuff box bite which turns his hand all leathery....he 
merely taps his hand with the wand and it's back to normal...no 
mention of a verbal spell).

He is certainly a very powerful wizard so maybe he can use any wand 
this way but it seems like the wand he has may be his own. IMHO
