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? <snip>

Carol responds:
The Elder Wand is only in danger if the Dark Wizards not only Disarm
Harry but defeat him by keeping and claiming his
holly-and-phoenix-feather wand. (Obviously, a Stupefy or a Petrificus
Totalus doesn't count or hardly anyone in the books would be the
master of his or her own wand!) And then, of course, they'd have to
find the Elder Wand. They wouldn't know that it had been put back in
the tomb (which Harry could ensure was better protected than it was
against Voldemort). Most if not all of the DEs who were present at the
Battle of Hogwarts would be dead or in Azkaban, in any case, so no one
who knew its history would be likely to steal it. In fact, Bellatrix
is already dead and Voldemort alone, his DEs dead or defeated, when LV
talks about stealing the wand from DD's tomb. I can't imagine any of
the students or their parents (including the Malfoys) wanting anything
to do with the Death Stick. And how will new bad guys find out about
it? I don't think that any Daily Prophet reporters were present for
that conversation!

Carol, who does think that Harry should learn nonverbal spells and
some of those fancy parries that Snape used in HBP before he fights
any more Dark Wizards but doesn't think that the Elder Wand will be
found again
