Although I think the entire wand thingy is totally confusing as Harry
did not magically disarm Draco but just grabbed the wands Draco was
holding out of his hand, I think I understand what DD plan was about
which unfortunately would have been not fail safe for Snape entirely.
DD asked Snape to kill him and because this death was pre-arranged
the wand would have been left without a rightful owner with no
possibility to ever be claimed by anyone else because Snape would not
have technically defeated DD. I do not know if DD took in
consideration that Snape might get killed for it but essentially my
2cent is that DD wanted Snape to end up with the wand not being its
true owner and thus the wand being just like a any other wand. I
think DD was counting on LV not killing Snape because he was supposed
to be a loyal servant.
LV did not kill Lucius when he took his wand. If LV already had taken
the wand from Snape but it was not enough to perform the promised
amount of magic then killing Snape for it would essentially not have
mattered, the wand would never again reveal its secrets.
Unfortunately the entire ordeal gives me the vibe of major lack in
logical reasoning on part of the author because if the wand would not
perform while taken from Snape, wouldn't that have aroused LV's
suspicion that something was up with how Snape came in possession of
the wand? Anyway I think DD meant LV to lose interest in the fable
surrounding the wand because after he would have taken it from Snape
he would discover it was nothing more then an ordinary wand.
