Potioncat:
So....do you think Snape knew the wand-lore of the Elder wand? Did he 
catch on what LV was getting at in those final moments? It doesn't look 
as if Snape knew he was supposed to destroy the wand, but then, he 
didn't have a chance to, did he?

I'm still confused about what should have happened. Carol, you think 
the wand would have lost all magic. Why do you think that?
