Harry didn't have to defeat anybody to become Master of his Phoenix Wand, it's just that the wand had no master at the time he walked into Oleander's shop and the wand apparently rather liked Harry and thought he'd make a good master. In the same way somebody is going to be master of the Elder Wand. I'd prefer it be Harry, he can be trusted with power, most can't.

Beatrice:  Also don't forget the way that Grindlewald captured the wand from Gregorovitch.  Just by stunning him and Dumbledore didn't kill Grindlewald....we don't know what spell was used to capture the wand here, but definitly not captured through killing the last owner.
