Geoff:
"'Ah yes,' said the man. 'Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon, 
Harry Potter.' It wasn't a question. 'You have your mother's eyes. It 
seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wand. 
Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wand for 
charm work.'
Mr.Ollivander moved nearer to Harry. Harry wished he would blink. 
Those silvery eyes were a bit creepy.
'Your father, on the other hand, favoured a mahogany wand. Eleven 
inches. Pliable. A little more power and excellent for 
transfiguration.....'"

Answer seems to be Yes and Yes.
