Behind the Scenes

 * As J.K. Rowling based Harry's, Ron's, and Hermione's wands off of the wand woods correlating to their date of birth and the Celtic tree calendar, it is possible that Severus Snape's wand could be crafted from Birch. Snape was born January 9, and the period of birth marking Birch on the Celtic tree calendar is December 24 to January 20.
