Bart:
OK, I've reread DH, carefully, and think I understand a few more things (especially since I was specifically looking for answers to what happened at the end). 

It seems to me that DD was using shorthand when he said Harry was a Horcrux; a better way would be to say that Harry was a SORT OF Horcrux, in that he was carrying the soul piece, but the soul-piece was not integrated with him (although there was a meeting point). This means that, unlike regular Horcruxes, the soul piece could be destroyed without killing Harry, and in particular without extraordinary magical means. That does not mean, however, that it was easy. It is clear to me that DD was trying to figure out how to destroy the Mortysoul piece without killing Harry; when Morty used Harry's blood to restore his body, DD saw his opportunity (the canonical gleam of triumph). 

Now, I am reasonably sure that DD had figured out that when Morty hit Harry with an AK blast, the shared blood tie would cause the Mortysoul to absorb the blast. Of course, the next one would hit Harry. But, with mastery the elder wand at stake, Harry had to freely allow Morty to try to kill him, so that he would not be defeated by Morty (much as Snape did not defeat DD). 

Now, here's how I read what happened, based on Ollie's explanation of wandlore:

1) Any wizard can get acceptable results out of any wand. 
2) All things being equal, a wizard will eventually bond with his/her wand.
3) A wizard who has bonded with his/her wand will produce superior magic, to the point that the wand works in concert with the wizard.
4) If a wizard is defeated in combat, but keeps his/her wand, his wand will stay bonded to him/her.
5) If a wizard is defeated in battle, and does NOT keep his/her wand, the wand will become bonded with the winner. 
6) Draco defeated DD in a duel. Since DD did not recover the elder wand, it bonded to Draco.
7) When Harry defeated Draco, since Draco never recovered the elder wand, it bonded to Harry.
8) When Morty AK'd Harry, since Harry allowed it, the elder wand did not switch sides, therefore was STILL Harry's wand.
9) Harry cast YAE to recover the Elder Wand; Morty cast YAAK, and, since the Elder Wand belonged to Harry, Harry won. 

Does this make sense?
