 Voldemort was looking for nuanced. You wanted to see "failure", but 
Voldemort wanted the "legend", wanted the "wonders" revealed.

Voldemort expected the Elder Wand to do *more* than he asked of it.
Possibly not a realistic expectation, but a real one, nonetheless, IMO.

Carol responds:
Not only an unrealistic expectation but an impossible one--and *not
demonstrated*. I expect Voldemort's words about the wand to have some
basis in fictional fact and I find none, "nuanced" or otherwise.

Carol, also agreeing to disagree as we'll never persuade each other
