Hoping this post isn't too short...

For a great theory on Ollivander and the Horcrux wand, see this post -

For an important and critical quote on this matter -

"The last shop was narrow and shabby. Peeling gold letters over the
door read Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wnads since 382 B.C. **A single
wand lay on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window**." 
[PS/SS Am Ed, PB, Pg 102]

We have to wonder about the disappearance of Ollivander and Fortescue,
and further wonder if they are still alive. I know it will break my
heart if either of them are dead. 

Still, we are back to the central question of where is Ollivander? 

The link above speculates that the Ollivander is perhaps related to
Ravenclaw, and that the wand on the cushion was indeed Ms Ravenclaw's
wand and further a Horcrux. Perhaps, Ollivander was captures in an
effort to get Ravenclaw's wand, and enchant it into a new Horcrux.

Someone really needs to check and see if that purple cushion wand is
still there.
