ACTUALLY - Dumbledore is allowing Snape to kill him, thus giving
permission, therefore never losing control of the wand.  If all had
gone according to plan, Dumbledore would have been the last master of
the wand, as Snape would not be master as he had permission to kill
Dumbledore, therefore, not taking the wand by force.

My understanding is the wand has to be taken without the owner's
permission.
