Zanooda:
I'm sorry, but I'm confused about what you are saying :-). Draco's wand

and the Elder wand are two different things, and they certainly didn't

turned out to be one another. Or did I misunderstand what you wrote?

Oryomai:
I can only speak for me, but the book gave me the impression that 
Draco's wand was the Elder Wand?  Let me try to explain it better.  
When I read the book, I got the impression that Draco's wand somehow 
became the Elder Wand?  The entire "wand" thing was just so utterly 
lame and complicated to me that I had a lot of trouble sorting it out.  
I thought that Draco's wand became the Elder Wand when he disarmed 
Dumbledore.  Well, then it makes even less sense to me!
Okay, Draco disarmed Dumbledore.  So the Elder Wand was loyal to him.  
The big question for me now is this: why does it matter that Harry 
disarmed Draco if the wand Draco was using is not the Elder Wand?  
Draco's "regular" wand was still loyal to him when he got control of 
the Elder Wand, right?  How does the fact that Harry has possession of 
Draco's "regular" wand affect the Elder Wand?

Who's even more confused now...
