Goddlefrood (with a small aside):

Like JKR remembered about the Marauder's Map in book 4, then?

Goddlefrood:

Who is this V of whom you speak? A new character on me I'm afraid. 
Sorry, LV, huh?

Anyway, perhaps you might care to expand on just why DD's wand would 
be important as suggested. Do you, perhaps, think that LV will get 
and use DD's wand to counteract the Priori Incantatem effect?

If he did, I hope that it backfires, now there's a thought... (The 
Magnificent Backfiring Wand theory - a work in progress) :)

> Last but not least, didn't Malfoy carry DD's wand when he was 
fleeing the Tower?  Maybe he took it to You Know Who.

Goddlefrood:

No, he didn't. Here's what the relevant canon says (Bloomsbury 
Hardback Edition - The Lightning Struck Tower, pps. 545-6):

"Then by the light of the Mark, he saw Dumbledore's wand flying in an 
arc *over the edge of the ramparts* and understood ... Dumbledore had 
wordlessly immobilised Harry, and the second he had taken to mperform 
the spell had cost him the chance of defending himself."

I couldn't see any other later reference to the wand , but it's 
clear it flew off the Tower, so unless Draco took another detour, he 
can't have it and won't, therefore, be giving it to LV. Do feel free 
to point me to any you (generic) may come across.

Having said this DD's wand will probably be of little further 
significance 
IMO.
