Rewatching Goblet of Fire, I wanted to see the whole web at once: Fawkes gave exactly two tail feathers. Ollivander put one in Harry's holly wand and one in Tom Riddle's yew wand, and that's why Priori Incantatem happens in the graveyard.
So I mapped it: Fawkes → the two feathers → the two wands → Harry and Voldemort, plus Dumbledore (Fawkes's owner), Ollivander, Lily, James and Snape around them.
Things that stood out once it was laid out:
- Dumbledore is linked to both wands through Fawkes, years before either boy got them
- The wands are "brothers", but their owners are linked only through Voldemort's choice to mark Harry
- Snape's whole arc hangs off one link: Lily
What connection did I miss?
