Peter is right, the wands connecting only occurs under
very specific and unlikely circumstances. Barring those
circumstances Voldemort and Harry can duel each other 
just fine.

The specific circumstances are that Harry and Voldemort
must send out curses at exactly the same time, then 
those curses must collide with each other in mid-air.
The collision of the curses is what starts the Brother
Wand Effect. 

The likelihood of simultaneous curses colliding is slim.
They could curse simultaneously in a way that the curse
do not collide, or the could collide tangentally which 
I don't think would work. So, for the most part, they
are OK, but because they both know the Brother Wand 
Effect is there, it will likely make them more cautions.
Though in dynamic battle, I suspect 'more cautions' is
actually a dangerous thing.

Just passing it along.
