a_svirn:
I didn't say he fought as her proxy only that he acted as such. She 
couldn't pick her own wand so he told him to do so. Proxy means by 
agency of another – that's exactly what Draco did – acted in Bella's 
stead by her explicit command.

a_svirn:
Then why didn't Draco's wand consider itself stolen?
