I am glad you mentioned the wand issue.  Ron also does not have his 
own wand until Azkaban.  Ron and Neville were both using somebody 
elses wands and both had a hard time with spells.

In the first book, Mr. Ollivander says that wizards never perform 
well using somebody elses wand.  Later on he says, "it's really the 
wand that chooses the wizard, of course."  Poor Neville and Ron, two 
boys that both have self-esteem and confidence issues are using 
wrongs that are not really suited for them.  Ron gets a new wand in 
Azkaban, he is already doing much better.  Neville will definately 
need a new wand now, and hopefully not his mothers.  I understand 
where the grandmother is coming from having Neville use his dad's 
wand, but hopefully she will let him get a new one. Guess we will 
have to wait and see when book 6 comes out!
