Potioncat:
As far as I know, only Hagrid's wand was snapped in two. And he didn't 
even go to Azkaban! Assuming JKR had a reason for it, is that only 
wizards who pass some OWLs get to have wands after Hogwarts? I was 
under the impression that Hagrid's wand had been mended, and didn't 
work properly. But, since Harry's wand wasn't working, I don't see how 
Hagrid's could have.

Again, it seems JKR forgot.
