bboyminn:

Just a few thoughts. First, ever heard of Spin?

Who says Harry has to tell the truth about the fate
of the Wand. Certainly a lot of people know about 
the wand because Harry blabbed to Voldemort in a
room full of people. But only Ron and Hermione
know what was decided in the Headmaster's office.

The official /spin/ could be that all the Deathly
Objects were destroyed to prevent any wizards from
being tempted by them again.

Further, what does it matter that Harry is defeated
a hundred times, IF the defeater can't get his hands
on the Wand? 

The /Spin/ is that the wand has been destroyed, the
truth is, it is back in Dumbledore's grave, and with
VERY LIKELY many more powerful enchantments to protect
the grave from being broken into again.

Once the Wand is apparently gone, it doesn't matter 
who the true master is, if the person doesn't 
realize he is the true master.

Does that make sense?

But, I suspect outside the HP World, to the readers,
it is a continuity error, but not one that can't be
solved with some creative thought.
