I think if Harry is really smart, instead of replacing the
Wand where Voldemort got it, he should REALLY
destroy it.  Break it, burn it, bury it - do all three - with
Ron and Hermione and maybe even Neville and Ginny
as witnesses.  If he really never intends to use it, then
he should destroy it.  Why keep it around for potential
problems?

Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel had the courage
to destroy a powerful magical object; Harry has
destroyed quite a few - and this one should be easy.
