Well, I am wondering now about the "Phoenix Song"  and how they both
have the same feather from Fawkes in their wands.  And the wands can't
attack each other, without one being incredibly stronger.  What kind
of connections can you draw from this?  I'd like to hear more
opinions.  I remember reading something about wands really being a
point where the power is just concentrated.  So what exactly do the
feathers do.  I mean if a feather from the same Phoenix doesn't want
to attack itself . . .

Along those lines (wand lines), I posted this the other day, and still
haven't seen a response . . .

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?
