This was never ever explained, was it? It was literally something made up in one scene to get rid of Voldemort. It made him search all over for a new wand, but there was never any reason for it.
Yeah, not even Dumbledore knows the reason the wand acted like a Deus Ex Machina. Voldemort's searching for a new wand is just another completely unnecessary subplot. (It seems to me the whole books is filled with unimportant subplots, probably to cover up the lack of real story, like you said.)
But don't worry, it had nothing to do with sex!
In fact, Dumbledore will never have any sex, because he does not trust himself. Boy, he must be frustrated! All those closeted sessions with Harry in HBP acquire a completely new meaning.
Well, Rita's got to work overtime on Voldemort's publicity, I guess. Everybody has to act really scared of the guy so Harry can come of age. The whole country's in on it.
Yeah. Grindelwald cause a whole World War; Voldemort managed a minor kerfuffle in Britain.
Since the whole series reeks of it he almost has to have.
I really don't like to contemplate what exactly this says about Rowling's mental health that she would prefer to be lorded over for her own good.
Yes, nice little reminder of how special it is that Harry and his friends, who've been tormented by Voldemort their whole magical lives and are friends exclusively with people who hate Voldemort, have taken to fighting "Dark Arts" at such a young age.
Which is completely different from Draco being a follower of Voldemort. He chose it!
