Although I do agree that there is a possibility that Voldemorts' wand is a Horcrux, I do not think that there is a chance that Harry wand is one. As Olivander said in the first book HPSS "The wand chooses the wizard". I think that Harry, and every one else for that matter, would have recognized the difference in Harrys' ability to cast spells if his wand had been switched. Also for a Horcrux to be made there has to be a death. While Harry was in the chamber there was no one actually killed, except the incomplete memory of Voldemort being brought back though the Diary. So even though "Tom Riddle" did have Harry's wand, he did not have the means to make a Horcrux at that time.
I am more entitled to believe that Voldemorts' wand is a Horcrux than Nagini. I do not see Voldemort making a living creature a Horcrux. To me that is just taking to much of a chance. Living things die, and the eternal question would have to be `Where was Voldemorts' wand all the years that he did not actually have a body?'. Someone had to have kept it for him, or he had to have stashed it somewhere. Seeing that Voldemort "Died" in a sense at James and Lilly's hideout, who would have taken it and held it in safe keeping for him all these years.
Well I those are my thoughts on the matter.
