Re another Horcrux possibility...
Have we ever been told WHERE/WHAT HAPPENED to
Voldemort's WAND?
I was reviewing the Tom Riddle clues when it dawned
on me. WHY did Riddle have to steal Harry's
wand in COS? What happened to HIS wand? Is it
possible he became so adept at Mind Spells that
V felt he could hide 1/7 of himself in his wand?
What would Voldemort's wand look like? We know
that the shop of Olivander the wand maker has
been closed down and the old man taken away.
WHY? And recall another tie in. Both V's and
Harry's wands contain a feather from a PHONEIX!
Is it possible the phoenix which contributed
the feathers was Dumbledore's FAWKES? If so,
HOW did Dumbledore acquire Fawkes' allegiance?
and when?
Actually, Dumbledore tells Harry that indeed Fawkes did provide the feathers for Harry's and Voldemort's wands. Interesting point on the wand being missing in COS. And I agree that the disappearance of Ollivander will be an issue later.
