Hmmm.  I wonder to what extent the wand can be used by someone who 
isn't its master?  Obviously to a certain extent, but does it have 
crippling deficiencies when used by someone to whom it is not bonded?
Also, what about the strange immunities Harry seemed to have on 
resurrection (no effect from Crucio, etc?)  Are these because he is 
the master of the hallows, or because he is a Resurrected Savior 
Being?  Maybe that is what DD was getting at, to wit:

1) DD willingly killed by Snape, leaving wand without a master;
2) Snape killed by Voldy, leaving Voldy with wand but not as master;
3) Harry sacrifices self, getting rid of disgusting mewling soul-
fragment thing;
4) Harry resurrected; now has immunities to some of Voldy's spells
5) Harry faces Voldy.  Voldy weakened by using wand that is not bound 
to him.  Harry has advantage of immunities to UCs.
6) Harry defeats Voldy.  Has Kreacher fetch sandwich.  Takes nap.

Or then again, maybe not.

flow-chart this stuff
