There also wands whose owners have died. If Neville could use his 
father's wand, so could Sirius. Also Grimauld 12 is just the place 
for "illegal" wands to be found. The way all Blacks seemed to devote 
themselves to all kind of fishy "Dark" activities, they could 
certainly use a spare wand. Could have collected them from their 
murdered enemies for centuries.
