Potioncat:
I like all the 'Flaw in the Plan' moments that you brought up in this 
post. 

My question is for anyone who has thought out, discusses or generally 
has an opinion about the topic. I know the Elder Wand and wand lore has 
been discussed---I didn't get to read many of those posts immediately 
post-DH. So, does anyone have a good idea on what Snape's role was 
supposed to have been concerning the Elder Wand? Did he know anything 
about it at all? Did DD expect the Wand to play a role in Harry's final 
moment with LV?

I'd be interested in comments or links to previous posts.
