Now this is just my opinion... but I think that Harry was the
Master of the Elder Wand the entire time. Why? Because Ignotus
Peverell died a natural death! No one defeated him! He was
Master of the Wand. Harry is a descendant of his... a direct
descendant! I think the Wand worked somewhat for Tom because
he was related to the Peverells. But Ignotus was supposedly
Harry's great, great, great (however many greats) grandfather.
The Wand showed its complete loyalty to Harry because of that.
Defeating Draco just solidified it even more.
As to why it worked for Dumbledore... I think that Dumbledore
was also related to the Peverells.
Just my opinion.
