Yeah, I hear you :-)! As I said in my post, this part of the story
doesn't sound very convincing to me, but this is exactly what the book
says: Harry took Draco's wand, but he also became the master of the
Elder wand, even though Draco never even touched it. I suppose the
Elder wand just knows that its master is disarmed (defeated), even
when it is not present at the scene and not used in the battle :-).
However, I disagree with you about one thing: I believe that the
scenario I described makes more sense than Draco's wand turning into
the Elder wand - there would be no explanation at all for such a
transformation :-)!
