Truly, I think the Elder Wand gives the bearer confidence (or in
Voldemort's case, overconfidence) more so than giving extraordinary
magical power. True, it must be a very powerful wand: it repaired
Harry's pheonix wand when none other could. but, this is all IMO.
I think the real factor is that Grindelwald made some stupid
mistake like Voldemort in his final duel. Voldemort could have
easily killed Harry if he hadn't given himself Harry's blood or if he
used another wand or if he simply set Nagini after Harry. But, no...
Voldemort had to be an arrogant moron. I'm inclined to think that
Grindelwald made the same sort of mistake.
