Thanks for the response Carol, as always very insightful.  It will be 
interesting then to see if any of the school letters for year six 
include in the supply list a new wand because the student has shown a 
particular propensity for a given subject.

Fred and George are something else again.  As I pondered the 
differences in their wands, I began to wonder about other things as 
well.  Did they get the same three OWLS or different ones.  It makes 
sense to me that they would each have concentrated on different 
subjects so that together there knowledge would cover a broader 
spectrum without having to work so hard.  Why three?  I know there 
has been a great deal of discussion about the OWLS and it makes me 
wonder if they only received their practical OWL and not the 
written.  To do what they do, they have to know a lot about potions, 
transfiguration, and charms.  It seems both of them would have done 
well in DADA, just because they like it (the whole curse thing I 
mean). And how hard is Care of Magical Creatures?

Any thoughts?
