Iggy:

Hmmmm... I can't really see that.  For one thing, why would she have so many
wands break in the books?  They'd have to be indestructible or, at the
least, repair themselves automatically.  (After all, every wand is perfect
for *someone*.  And if it's the perfect match for someone out there, it
would need to be available for that person later.)

Also, I don't think Dumbledore would allow any of the dropped Phoenix
feathers to be used in new wands.  It would be disrespectful to Fawkes, and
I don't think Dumbledore would want to offend so powerful a familiar.
(That, and JKR apparently thought it important enough to stress that Fawkes
gave two feathers, and only two.)


Just my two centaurs worth.
