As to the wand thing...I dug this up on the 'net.  It says flower and 
tree meanings, so who knows.  JK has traditionally gone with the celtic 
system, but I looked and nowhere does it talk about cherry.  
So, that is very unique in and of itself.  Maybe Ollivander doesn't 
use this type of wood anymore?  I had read another post suggesting 
that the wand in Ollivander's shop on a pillow (from SS) was 
Ravenclaws and that was the last horcrux.  What if Ollivander sold 
this particular wand to Neville?  It would be strange that 
Ravenclaw's wand would choose Neville, but interesting.  Maybe 
Ollivander knew that the DE were coming for him and he decided to get

Ehren again:

I really like this theory. We didn't receive any indication of what the 
Ravenclaw horcux would be. Also, Ravenclaw chose people for her house 
who were the smartest. Since one meaning of white cherry means "good 
education" that would fit wouldn't it? As far as the other meaning 
being "deception" wasn't it a Ravenclaw claw that turned in the DA in 
bk5? 

The only problem with this being the final horcux is that Voldemort 
wouldn't let something so valuble be sitting in a wand shop where 
people are constantly walking by it day in and day out and Ollivander 
wouldn't be able to just let Neville have it (even if the wand did 
choose him) unless it was Voldies plan to do so. 

Just my thoughts,

Ehren
(by the way, Rachel I was looking at your email, do play the clarinet? 
If so rock on! Us muscian/HP fans must bond together thru the internet)
I'm ironing my hands now for going briefly off-topic. It won't happen 
again.
