<snip> The odd thing is that Neville had his father's wand - now, Neville obviously has needed all the help he can get, so why would his Grandmother not get him a new wand? 


Carol responds:
I think that maybe Gran sees her son, who is to all intents and purposes dead, as a fallen hero and thinks that Neville should be honored to inherit his wand. Also, as you say, it was probably a powerful wand, and she may have thought it would help her apparently "magically challenged" grandson. <snip>

akh adds:

Actually, I was wondering just the opposite.  Perhaps it's because Gran knows a wizard's less powerful with someone else's wand that she gives it to Neville.  After all, he can't possibly be the one mentioned in the prophecy if he's barely able to function, can he?  I've wondered if that's also why he's been given a challenged memory, too.
