You know, that is the one and part of JKR's wonderful story that just
doesn't make sense to me. If you don't like the Elder Wand then just
snap it in two; but why would you even want to destroy it? That wand
served Dumbledore well for half a century, I am certain that wand did
a lot of good in that time, and I see no reason it would be a less
faithful servant to Harry. Call me the reincarnation of Voldemort if
you want to but it would only take me about one heartbeat to decide to
keep it!  Power is not always a bad thing; as a matter of fact I
rather like power.
