zanooda:

LV only began to look for the Elder wand after his attempt to kill Harry with someone else's  wand failed ("Seven Potters"). DD was dead by then, so he couldn't possibly have known that LV started his search. As for DD's portrait, we don't really know how portraits work and how much they know. DD's portrait seem much smarter then Sir Cadogan or Sirius's mother :-), but still, it's not DD himself.
