"And so it goes on and on. There is little doubt that DD has expended 
considerable efforts on his plans to protect Harry, from the moment 
he heard that prophecy at the Hogs Head. Fawkes is his phoenix, and 
only gave the second feather to Ollivander at Dumbledore's request, 
once DD realised the weapon would be required in the coming fight 
with Voldemort."


DuffyPoo:
I have rather a different understanding of this.  Fawkes gave two feathers and Ollivander made two wands.  Tom Riddle/LV bought one and the other remainded on the shelf until young Mr. Potter came along.  There is no canon to prove either version, it is a wait and see if JKR reveals it, thing.

"Tricky customer, eh? Not to worry, we'll find the perfect match *here somehwere* -- I wonder, now -- yes, why not -- unusual combination -- holly and phoneix feather..." (PS)  If DD had truly manipulated the situation, Mr O. wouldn't have had to go through all this...should have just picked up the wand made to DD's specs and handed it to HP.  As Hanna said:
 
>>He seems genuinely surprised and fascinated 
when Harry suits *that* wand.  And he makes Harry try lots of others 
first, which seems a risky course of action.  A wizard must suit 
more than one wand, otherwise how do people ever manage when they 
break one.  What if another good wand had turned up?  Why not just 
say; 'let's try this one,' present the Fawkes-wand and save a lot of 
trouble.  Harry wouldn't have known any different!<<

"I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr Potter.  Every single wand.  It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your wand, gave another feather -- just one other.  It is very curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when its brother -- why, its brother gave you that scar. ... The wand chooses the wizard, remember." (PS)  How, possibly, could DD 'know' that this wand (if he had specified that it be made) would choose HP?  How could he 'know' that HP would ever attend Hogwarts?  How could he 'know' that HP was even magical, that he wasn't a squib?  DD, IMO, is only working on circumstantial evidence in believing that HP is the one who will fulfill the prophecy.  I personally think JKR is setting us all up for a big GOTCHA at the end of the series.  

"Mr Ollivander wrote to tell me you had bought the second wand, the moment you left his shop four years ago." (GoF)  Why would he need to write and tell DD something he would no doubt know if he set it up?
