"the disappearance of Ollivander.
There has to be some significance to the fact that Neville was one of
the last to purchase a wand prior to Ollivander's disappearance."

kennclark:
Yes indeed.  Neville, until it got broke fighting the death eaters, had
been using his father's old wand so Ollivander had presumably never
seen or met Neville before he came into his shop to buy his first
wand.  What about Neville might have resulted in Ollivander's flight
into hiding (if that is what has happened)?  Personally I've always
thought that Neville was destined to kill Voldemort.  Maybe in choosing
his wand something was revealed to Ollivander, so important about the
prophecy that he thought it better to get the hell out of it for a
while.
