>> 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

> 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

Charla:

This seems to me more of muggles (us) putting an application of a 
nanny state to the WW.  Is not this choice of good or evil what 
has made the WW so appealing to so many readers?  How interesting 
would the Trio's adventures be without such dangers, eg. the Elder 
wand?
