The elder wand goes to the witch or wizard that defeats the wand -
it doesn't need to result in death of the witch or wizard with he
wand.
This is a quote from a dissendium forum - to quote ginnyrox:
"Draco got the ownership of the wand because he disarmed Dumbledore.
However, Draco's wand didn't become the Elder wand, and Draco didn't
have any more power. If he had used the Elder wand, Draco would have
had more power. There is still something special about the actual
wand.
Also, the wand's ownership passes to whoever defeats the previous
owner. If Dumbledore's death had not been prearranged by Snape and
Dumbledore, Snape would have been the master. As it happens, Snape
didn't defeat Dumbledore - he killed him. There is a difference. So
the person who the wand's mastership must pass to is Draco, as
he "defeated" Dumbledore last, by taking his wand.
Harry disarmed Draco at "Malfoy Manor" and kept his wand, which is,
I'm presuming, how mastership passed from Draco to Harry. I think
that it should have been done a different way, as Draco isn't really
defeated. His wand has been taken, but he can easily get another
one. Eventually, he could end up another Voldemort and defeat them
all (not going to happen - merely said theoretically to prove a
point).
That's what I think, anyway."

And when you thinkg about it - it makes sense.
