 With all the story elements dealing with strength in unity and
weakness in division, it would almost have to be significant wouldn't

Beatnik comments:

I don't know that the wands, specifically, will play a very vital 
role, or, IMO, JKR would have included Hermione's wood and core in 
canon, rather than just on her website.

However, as Gregory says, unity is obviously an important theme, and 
I think the wands are just another way that the trio's diverse 
abilities comment each other and add to their collective strength.  
For example, (obligatory apology for this probably already having 
been mentioned) the members of the trio each represent one of the 
school houses, respectively.  Harry obviously had talents prized by 
Slytherin, as the sorting hat tells him in PS/SS and Dumbledore 
tells him in CoS.  Hermione's dominant trait is cleverness and 
intelligent, Ravenclaw traits, as Anthony Goldstein(?) comments in 
OotP.  And Ron is overtly loyal, a Hufflepuff trait, always jumping 
in to defend his friends against Malfoy,etc.  In a way, the four 
houses are already united in H/R/H.  

I think that the above example, and the wands are just symbolic of 
the fact that the unity of the trio, and of all the good guys, will 
be instrumental in 'vanquishing' LV (whatever that means).
