Severus Snape's wand

The wand of Severus Snape is of unknown length and wood and core materials. Presumably, Snape purchased this wand in 1971, when he was eleven years old and beginning at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

History
In 1998, during the height of the Second Wizarding War, Lord Voldemort came to believe that Snape had also acquired mastery over the Elder Wand, which he took from the grave of Albus Dumbledore. In fact, although Snape had killed Dumbledore, it was Draco Malfoy who had disarmed Dumbledore shortly before his death in 1997. Thus, when Voldemort ordered Nagini to kill Snape, it did not result in mastery of the Elder Wand transferring to him, as Voldemort had believed. Harry Potter had gained the allegiance of the Elder Wand when he disarmed Draco during a skirmish in Malfoy Manor.
