Harry in a dangerous profession?

[Freeman, Louise Margaret]

No: HPFGUIDX 181649


My 11 year old and I just finished re-reading DH and I was struck by 
something in Harry's last conversation with the Dumbledore portrait.  He 
said he planned to put the Elder Wand back in the grave, then plan on dying 
a natural death, so the power of the wand would be broken.

But Harry became the master of the Elder Wand by simply yanking Draco's 
hawthorne wand out of his hand, not by killing or even magically disarming 
him.  So, it would seem that if anyone managed to get Harry's phoenix 
feather wand away from him, they would instantly become the Elder Wand 
master.  In that case, it would seem that becoming an Auror would be an 
exceptionally high-risk profession.  Harry's skilled, but does he really 
think he can get through an entire career chasing Dark wizards without being 
defeated in a duel or disarmed even once?

Working in the Joke shop might be a lot safer. At the very least he should 
hide the Elder Wand in a less obvious place.  Or couldn't he, as the Elder 
Wand master, choose to break it? (and bury the pieces with Dumbledore, like 
the ballad Hagrid and Slughorn sang at Aragog's funeral?)
