Now me:
The reason Mr. Olivander asked which hand Harry uses was to see which
was the dominant one, not because there is a difference in the shape
of the wand.
I assume a witch/wizard can use their wand in either hand but one
will be stronger than the other. Just like using another
witch/wizards wand will produce an effect but a weaker one.
