Questions on wands and sacrifices

I'm still trying to work out the entire ending.

Here is what I think was supposed to happen according to 
Dumbledore's' plan:

Dumbledore is killed by Snape but not defeated. The Elder Wand has no 
new master.

Harry is supposed to destroy all the horcruxes before he meets 
Voldemort. 

Voldemort kills Harry but the blood connection keeps Harry from 
dying, but separates the extra soul bit from Harry. The curse 
rebounds on Voldemort and kills him because he no longer has anything 
to anchor him to life. (We know something happened to him in the 
forest because he was knocked down or out when he cursed Harry.) It 
wouldn't matter what wand he was using. 

Harry survives and lives happily ever after.

Would his sacrifice have protected anyone? Voldemort was dead; who 
would he be protecting them from?

Why was it that Voldemort had to cast the killing curse on him and no 
one else?

I'm not sure what was supposed to happen to Snape as the supposed 
master of the Elder Wand, but I doubt that he planned for Snape to 
die.


Instead the plan goes awry.

Harry faces him without destroying the last horcrux (not counting 
himself).

Does the Elder Wand matter in the forest? Is it a rebound that harms 
Voldemort? Does the wand harm him because he is using it on the 
rightful owner of the wand?

Since a wizard can get most any wand to work for him and Voldemort 
says he has been doing his normal spectacular spell work with it, why 
does Harry tell him the wand isn't working for him?  Is he bluffing 
because he's been casting shield charms preventing the spells from 
affecting the people? Is he trying to mess with Voldemort's head? Or 
did his sacrifice really protect everyone?

Since there are no duel cores this time, why is Harry able to block 
an unblockable curse? Is it because the Elder Wand recognizes him? If 
so was the curse in the forest just enough to remove the soul bit but 
not actually kill him? If so, then the blood isn't actually helping 
him.
