Wands, A couple of questions Options

[the_prisoner_of_...]

Well, this came about off another topic, but as it was so far off topic I decided to start a new one.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Wormtail used his own wand to kill himself yes? Sirius was framed for it yes? Couldn't they have used Prior Incantata (however it's spelt) on his wand and found out it wasn't him. I guess though, maybe they tried to say it was Sirius using Wormtails wand.

Also, people have asked how Wormtail would have kept his wand if he was a rat. But Sirius managed to keep his somehow, through azkaban and whilst he was a dog, but he didn't have it in POA did he? So perhaps this means he bought a new one, but surely someone would notice Sirius Black walking into Olivanders.

Also, we know the DE's broke out of Azkaban and had their wands in the OOTP ministry fight. If wands are destroyed for expolsion from Hogwarts, surely they'd destroy the wands of permanent residents of Azkaban.

Any thoughts?

I tend to agree that Voldy won't want to replace the wand that has been with him throughout his rise to power... Say what you will about Voldy, but he's a sentimental guy. He likes being a pack rat and isn't likely to willingly switch wands, despite the graveyard... If it were a matter of switching wands to kill Harry, I'd picture Voldy saying... "Severus, may I borrow your wand? I find it most appropriate that the wand that killed Dumbledore shall also kill his greatest fan..."

As for Ollivander, I think he actually went into hiding to prevent the Death Eaters from getting to his stock of wands. It just doesn't seem like it makes sense for him to have been captured/recruited... I don't really have a good reason for saying it either... just a feeling.
