Voldemort's wand---that Phoenix feather.....

It seems a curious thing to me that a wand with *Dumbledore's"* phoenix's 
feather just happened to be a match for Tom Riddle.  What do you suppose 
could have been the reason?  Some kind of tie in with the prophecy? He did, 
after all, acquire the wand long before he became "Voldemort", long before 
the prophecy was spoken.  How does Ollivander as the wandmaker come into 
play?  Why did he use those feathers?  Was DD involved somehow? DD 
wasn't even headmaster at the time.  And now Ollivander is gone, 
disappeared.  
I keep hoping something will come up in each new book to illuminate this 
situation, but so far, nothing, at least nothing I can make anything of.  

I don't know if this was addressed in any JK interviews.....
