I'm afraid with the current discussion of who came first, I think my
post was overlooked :)  So I'm renaming it and reposting it.  Hope
this is ok!

Well I was looking but did not see this reply.

Is it at all possible that Voldemort used Lily's "excellent for charm
work" wand to try to kill Harry? And that's why the rebounded spell
did not come out in GoF? I guess I should say I know that the
reference of the charm wand was actually reference to Lily's first
wand, however, it would seem to stand to reason that a subsequent wand
would also be "charmed"?

In this, could it also be that the wand belonging to Lily would indeed
backfire as it would "know" her son?

Perhaps there was a struggle of some kind and then Voldemort had to
grab a nearby wand. It seems we've seen evidence of other struggles
where wizards and witches use other's wands. And then there's the
reference where another wizards wand can never be used as effectively
as your own?
