Grindelwald STOLE the Elder wand from Gregovitch (sp?) (the wandmaker who
made Krum's wand)  The Elder wand is unbeatable when it is FORCED into
allegiance with a new owner ie the old owner is defeated - presumably in a
duel.  D/D DEFEATED Grindelwald and so had mastery over the wand.  Mouldy
Vort thought Snape had defeated D/D and that by killing Snape he would then
have mastery over the wand - but D/D had already been defeated by Draco at
the top of the tower when he managed to get D/D's wand away from him.  Harry
then defeated Draco at Malfoy Manor, therefore he was the true master of the
Elder wand.  Harry intends to end the wand's power by re-burying it with
D/D,  not advertise that he had mastered the wand and by dying a natural
death eventually.
