Yes, the ambiguity made it the extra-special bit of interesting. And it served a second purpose for me, to make clear that no one knows what Sirius really was or would have been - because he was murdered as a child. And the last fact ist he one that counts in the end.
I like that idea, it's so humane. It would be logical, but sometimes society is not logical or fair, especially concerning traditions. And wands... there seems to be a good bit about wandlore. Ollivanders "the wand choses the wizard" seems to be in this context more like a fight against a tradition than a try to be mysterious.
