Well, if Harry's correct in his explanation to LV in the Great Hall, 
Snape would never have become master of the wand by killing DD, because 
he would not have *defeated* DD; it was something they planned between 
them.

I think a very similar reason would apply when LV AKed Harry in the 
Forest: it wasn't a defeat of Harry, because it's what Harry wanted for 
him to do.

Annemehr,
still trying to work out exactly what she said...
