Pippin:
It was a powerful wand for Voldemort because he was such a powerful wizard. But he got no more power from it than he had from his own wand, and I believe this would be true with any other wizard who possessed the Elder wand but did not properly own it.

Its special powers are only available to its true owner -- even a wizard as powerful as Voldemort cannot force it to work for him as it should.

Steve:
And Harry is assuming, despite becoming an Auror, that he will never be defeated or killed. That seems an unlikely assumption, though perhaps youthful optimism can be blamed. He became the Master of Draco's Wand simply by taking it away from him. So, the transfer of Loyalty is not that difficult.

Pippin:

It won't matter if Harry is killed or loses his wand, as long as he does not allow it to happen against his will. 

In any case, Hogwarts is still one of the best defended fortresses in the WW,  and only the Trio and the portraits will know that the wand is in Dumbledore's tomb.  If  Harry is concerned that the knowledge could be forced or tricked from them, he can use the Fidelius charm.

Anyway, I think Harry feels the danger of another Voldemort arising in his lifetime is less of a threat  than the damage he and his friends might do if the WW were defenseless against their good intentions.
