"I have a question about wands. We know that Ollivander has either left his store, or been kidnapped by the Death-eaters. (I personally think he may be evil and went to them) We also know that Harry and L.V. cannot do proper battle with their current wands because they won't work properly against each other. What I am confused about is that if Ollivander has made L.V a new wand, will it work as well as the wand that "chose him". I don't see how it would work as well, and I 
can't see L.V. using a wand that did not suit him properly. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas about how this might work into the book."

Yep, that is a curiosity. :) I think Ollivander might have entered DD's 'witness protection program' that DD offered Draco. DD knew when Harry told him of the priori incantatem effect when Harry fought LV in the graveyard. DD must have suspected that LV realized then that his wand and Harry's shared core (or were connected in some way), so LV might try to abduct Ollivander. I'd like to think DD persuaded OVD to go into hiding first. His wand shop showed no sign of struggle, so I doubt that the DEs took him (like they probably did Florean Fortescue). 

I'm not very imaginative, so I don't know how that will resolve in Book VII. OVD told Harry in PS/SS that you don't achieve as good a result when you use others' wand. I think both LV and Harry would still be using their own brother wands to the end.That seems to be their destiny (but I'm just speculating, of course).. but as far as we know one would have to have been disarmed (or dis-wanded?) or unable to draw his wand and say a curse at the same time that he is cursed, for one to successfully kill the other. Otherwise the scene in the graveyard would be repeated, and not just one bead of light but many beads will be forced by one into the others wand and instead of the affected wand just vomiting out its past deeds it would just be destroyed altogether?
