I meant that DD didn't get injured trying to destroy the ring. He put it on in order to use it. "I lost my head , Harry. I quite forgot that it was now a Horcrux, that the ring was sure to carry a curse. I picked it up, and I put it on, and for a second I imagined that I was about to see Ariana, . . ." DH at 719 US hardback.

Harry did not get the Elder Wand from Malfoy. It was buried with DD and retrieved by LV. Harry got it by disarming LV in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. DH at 743.

I don't understand this either, except that things did not work out the way DD originally planned. It was his idea that Snape would kill him and take his wand, which would lose its power because it had been given up voluntarily. I guess he did not know LV was trying to get a new wand and was tracing the Elder Wand right back to DD.
