HumanTupperware:

Sorry to expand this thought right after you say it needs to be left alone.....but it's only a little point.....

I always thought that Voldy's wand "chose" him because it was suited to his 
potential (terrible, but great) as most wands seem to do with people......but 
then Harry's wand chose him because he is connected to Voldy since the GH 
incident. Therefore, Harry's "potential" requires him to have a wand that is on 
par with Voldy's. It's brother/sister wand. If Harry hadn't been connected to 
Voldy, or "fated" to fight him, a totally different wand would have chosen him, 
and poor old Neville would have ended up with the Fawkes wand. 

I also think that Fawkes "gave" his other feather after the prophecy was heard 
by Dumbledore expressly for the reason that Harry would end up with it, and 
be able to fight off Voldy more effectively. 

Just my thoughts......
