Wands and Horcruxes

I was wondering if anyone had given any thought into the possibility 
of the last two unaccounted-for horcruxes might be Harry and 
Voldemort's wands. I have been dwelling on the theory for some time 
now. 

First, there is the obvious fact that Ollivander has disappeared, his 
wand shop left empty. He was the one who told Harry's wand is 
the "brother" to Voldemort's, each containing a feather from 
Dumbledore's phoenix. 

Second, at the very end of the book, Harry actually looses his wand 
while confronting Snape. I am assuming that he retreived the wand, 
but JKR never does confirm it. 

It would make perfect sense to me, that the horcruxes could very well 
indeed be Harry and Voldemort's wands, although I do not quite 
understand how it could be possible. Dumbledore has theorized that 
Riddle's horcruxes are objects that are of significance to him. It is 
also telling that in the Chamber of Secrets, Riddle reached for 
Harry's wand. Wands are such an important part of a wizard that they 
are often overlooked, which makes them perfect candidates for 
horcruxes.

Is this too far-fetched, or does this theory have some merit? I would 
love to hear some comments on this.
