Sridhar:
I second this, since LV can then get a feather from a different 
phoenix. Otherwise, the wand-locking effect will continue. But I 
wonder, can we mix more than 2 substances for the wand core. There is 
nothing in the canon to justify this, but its just a thought.

Sridhar:
But as he says, in PS/SS, it is the wand that really chooses its 
owner. Can he prevent a different wand from choosing LV?

Sridhar:
Good one Angie! or perhaps only a few small tweeting birds would come 
out of AK. LV will probably die of a heart attack, although we don't 
really know if LV has a heart.
