Tammy:

Remember that Ollivander's isn't the only wand maker around. We know
there are other wand makers in other countries, but there are probably
others within the UK as well. The DE's don't necessarily have to have
their own wands back, but they probably went out and got new ones.
Voldemort's wand is the only wand that would have to be his same old
wand (as it has that whole connection thingy to Harry's wand). The
rest can just go shopping.
