"What always bugged me is why, if the wand chooses the wizard based on
some intrinsic fit, do they ever replace them. Doing so appears fairly
common - in SS Olivander refers to Harry's parents buying "their first
wand" - implying they later bought another."


DuffyPoo:
This scene had never implied - to me - that James and Lily bought second wands.  Ollivander can tell people he remembers the day "HP bought his first wand" but we know he has only one.  He can say the same thing about Ron.  I remember the day he bought his first wand.  It doesn't imply - to me - that James or Lily ever bought another wand.  It is all in how you interpret the passage.
