say that he is putting it back in Dumbledore's tomb, he is putting

Harry that knew where it was are all dead.  So as long as Harry does 
not reveal to anyone where it is hidden, the ownership of the wand

To gain the Elder wand in the magical sense, as I understand it, you 
only have to take the wand used by its master. If you then didn't 
know where the Elder Wand was, to take physical possession, that 
passing of ownership wouldn't do much good (or harm), but ownership 
would still have passed. The subsequent master might discover the 
wand etc etc.There is an analogy with LOTR where the ring slips from 
the hand of Isildur but is recovered from the river centuries later 
by Deagol.  The likelihood of an unbroken chain of transmission of 
the wand and its discovery by someone in that chain is not great, 
but it exists. Probably the wand has indeed been rendered 'safe', 
but without seeing Harry's undefeated death as Master, we can not 
know for sure.
