va32h:

My take on the Elder Wand transference is that at least one aspect of 
it is that the previous master *acknowledges* defeat. Dumbledore 
congratulates Draco on his accomplishment of disarming DD and 
sneaking Death Eaters into the school. Perhaps it was a ruse to keep 
Draco talking, but Dumbledore did, in his way, accept defeat. When 
Harry takes Draco's wand by force, Draco does not pursue Harry - he 
has accepted defeat. I expect that if Draco had managed to get his 
own wand back in the RoR, Draco would still be the Master of the 
Elder Wand since Harry does not become master until he has the duel 
with Voldemort.
