Well that brings up the very issue that we have been
debating. Does the wand allegiance change when Wizard
conquers Wizard, or when Wand conquers Wand, or when
Wizard conquers Wand, or when Wand conquers Wizard? 

As I've said, I don't think the rules are cut-and-
dried; I think they are vague and esoteric. We have
a general indication of how wand allegiance will 
shift, but no clear immutable rules. 

Draco /conquered/ Dumbledore, but Draco never took
possession of the Elder Wand. Harry /conquered/
Draco, but he too never took possession of the
wand. Theoretically, the wands allegiance tracks the
conquerer. But, note when Draco 'conquered' Dumbledore,
it was by magic. When Harry 'conquered' Draco, it
was by physical force. 

Does that matter, is 'conquered' conquered, or does it
have to be magically 'conquered'? Or, does it have to
be conquered at all? Maybe it just needs to be captured.
Grindlewald captured the wand from Gregorovitch. But, 
we could say Grindlewald conquered Gregorovitch by 
stealth and quick wits (plus a trace of magic). He 
conquered him by out smarting him. 

We don't know the answer to these question, but Harry
thinks he does, and that gives him the confidence to
act. Thinking Harry might be right, it shakes 
Voldemort's confidence and makes him hesitant and 
uncertain in his actions.

One final note, to support my broad 'complex' theory.

Voldemort has lost all his Horcruxes; the things that
held him bound to the earth and away from death. 
Harry on the other hand still has his mother's
protection, and a drop of that protection resides in
Voldemort. That drop of Harry's Blood in Voldemort
is the thing that held Harry to the earth, and 
allowed him the option to return from death. In
short, and figuratively, Voldemort has NO Horcruxes,
Harry has one.  

In the end, I think it is a complex combination of
factors that allows Harry to win. I really don't
think it is as simple as Master of the Wand.
