--- Carol:
It probably still thinks that its master is
Draco until the "resurrected" Harry explains the situation to LV in
the wand's hearing.
kamion writing:

mmm, a wand may have a kind of sense and identity, it doesn't have ears to listen to explinations by rivals. It's a sort of primordial being of power operating beneath the level of conscience, tought or reason.

wand and wizard share a kind of magical channel that connects the wand identitity with that of the wizard, when that is forcefully severed..... like the Draco's Expelliarmus the connection between the Elder Wand and Dumbly was severed, Dumbledore's "wand personality" - that part of his being that was focused on his wand - was destroyed.
And the Elder Wand connected itself with the first personality recognised as the stronger in that particulair conflict.
Unless Dumbledore had beaten the crap out of Draco and took over Draco's hawnthorn wand he lost his mastership of the Elder Wand to Draco Malfoy.
He choose not to do so if ever possible, it was far more coveniant to let Draco in this unrealised mastership, knowing that the focus of Voldemort would sooner or later be on the far stronger wizard Snape.
The death of Dumbledore had nothing to do with change of allegiance.
It changed allegiance again when Draco's "wand personality" was overpowered in the boy's row what was to be expected.... Harry and Draco had this kind of blows all over the serie and Draco lost most of them.
 
I wonder however what in JKR's perspective would happen 
when Harry gives back Draco his hawnthorn wand.
Would the Elder Wand experience this as giving up mastership or still consider Harry as the dominant wizard of the two?
