Dung:
But Harry didn't know that he was going to come back, he thought he 
was going to die, and Voldy thought (or hoped) he was going to die. 
It would have been the end of the only one who could (according to 
the prophecy) get rid of Voldy for good. Now if *Voldy* had been in 
on it too, I could see your reasoning.

Look at it this way: if Snape had been ESE! and killed DD *not* 
because DD wanted him to, but because he wanted to further 
Voldemort's agenda, or because he truly hated DD, Snape *would* have 
become the master of the wand, wouldn't he?

Speaking of which, did Grindelwald "come quietly" or not? 'Cause if 
he did, DD couldn't have gained mastery of the wand.

Maybe I'm just confused.
