A propósito da varinha do Draco ser de Hawthorn e a do Harry ser de Holly e serem as "certas", um pouco de wikipedia:

Hawthorn
In Gaelic folklore, hawthorn (in Scottish Gaelic, Sgitheach) 'marks the entrance to the otherworld' and is strongly associated with the fairies.[2] Lore has it that it is very unlucky to cut the tree at any time other than when it is in bloom, however during this time it is commonly cut and decorated as a May Bush (see Beltane).[3] Hawthorn trees are often found beside clootie wells; at these types of holy wells they are sometimes known as 'rag trees', for the strips of cloth which are tied to them as part of healing rituals.[4]

E a propósito de Otherworld:
The Other World in Celtic mythology is the realm of the dead, the home of the deities, or the stronghold of other spirits and beings such as the Sídhe.

Holly
Looms in the 1800s used holly for the spinning rod.

E a propósito de weaving:
Weaving begins with spinning. Until the spinning wheel was invented in the 14th century, all spinning was done with distaff and spindle. In English the "distaff side" indicates relatives through one's mother, and thereby denotes a woman's role in the household economy.
