Valky:
How about the priori incantatem effect? This wouldn't have happened 
if LV wasn't using the "brother" Pheonix feather wand.

thing I want to know is *when* the feathers were given. Were they 
random events or was the second wand deliberately constructed as a 
corrective  to the first and intended specifically for Harry or 
Neville - the putative Voldy destroyers? Note that Neville never 
bought a wand on entering  Hogwarts; he was using his father's. Be 
interesting to see how he'd perform with Harry's wand.

I am becoming increasingly more certain that the wand cores are 
linked to *another* prophecy, that we haven't heard yet. Or there 
maybe some far old written lore somewhere saying that a phoenix will 
give two feathers and the two people who command those feathers will 
reunite the divided wizard world (or the divided Hogwats four 
Houses), something like that. 
This could be why DD admits to having kept a close eye on the 
recipients of Fawkes feathers. 
The wand chooses the wizard, as we know so I doubt that DD would 
have been involved in any plotting to ensure that Harry or Tom would 
get the wands.

Valky:
I agree, Ollivander always seems to know more than he should.
Maybe he is some kind of prophet it seems a likely skill that would 
prove an advantage in his line of work.
