bdclark0423:
Yes, this was my original logic, but you'll see DD saying
to Harry `I won the duel. I won the wand.' There's not much
room to misinterpret what happened.

Looking further into this, I noticed Some of the things DD
says are:

When he's talking about GG and their friendship in their
youth and the death of AD, he admits `I think he knew it, I
think he knew what frightened me, I delayed
'

`I was fit only to possess the [wand]
.and not to boast of
it, and not to kill with it. I was permitted to tame and to
use it, because I took it, not for gain, but to save others
from it.'

So as we know it is the wand that chooses it's master, could
have the wand chosen DD? (another possibility)  
and with the
JKR making DD gay and the possible love affair with GG, this
does invite opportunity for DD to be clever enough to not duel
GG with the Elder Wand involved but to trick him by using
previously built relationship..

bdclark0423:
Sorry, I have to disagree, sure We and Harry can speculate,
but JKR is not speculating.  Since she bases the entire final
battle on this premise (Voldy's killing spell rebounding back
on to him), and then Harry makes the statement based on DD's
original plan, `if I die of natural causes then its power will
be broken, `

I think since she is author we can make the assumption that
Harry is owner of the Elder Wand.

Bdclark0423:
Best logic yet, I think this would make the assumption on my
topic that this mistake is defunct.

It would be like saying after Merlin drove Excalibur into the
rock and then later, this was pulled out by King Arthur, but
the sword could have never been put onto the rock in the first
place because of its chemical composition would never allow
this to happen.

Thanks!
