Carolyn:
My theory, if you haven't already been bored to death by it (aha, a 
new audience!), is that Tom Riddle was originally a protege of DD 
who went wrong, and that what DD was originally looking for was a 
successor, to groom to become the most powerful wizard in the WW. He 
made the first Fawkes' wand available at Ollivanders as a kind of 
litmus test, to tell him when that person came forward.

Bookworm:
Interesting.  Do you think Harry's wand was another litmus test
or made to counter Tom's wand?  If the latter, was it made before
or after Godric's Hollow?
