Sorry, but what's curious?
Speaker A
I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter.
Speaker A
It so happens that the Phoenix whose tail feather resides in your wand, gave another feather.
Speaker A
Just one other.
Speaker A
It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar.
Speaker B
And who owned that wand?
Speaker A
We do not speak his name.

The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter.

It's not always clear why.
