Angie wonders:  If you mean it is unlikely that the wand had 
languished in the wand shop, then when do you believe it was created?

give up a feather if DD requested it, I guess in that sense it 
doesn't matter.  My poorly worded point was that a new feather could 
be gained at any time.

Angie replies:  Good points, both.  I know Neville is going to have a 
larger role to play; can't wait to see what it is.  As for the 
prophesy, I'd wondered about the repeated language, which is not 
repeated verbatim, so I see your excellent point.  I mean, it doesn't 
say that the one marked as LV's equal is the one with the power to 
vanquish him.  Hmmmm . . . .
