Harry does not need to give Ron another reason to be envious, or Hermione another way to get around the stubborn refusal of people to do what she thinks would be good for them. And Harry does not need a wand that has shed so much innocent blood, not if he thinks of what might have happened if he'd had the Elder Wand with him when he met Snape again in the corridors of Hogwarts.


kat7555:
Harry has also never sought to be the most powerful person in the world. When he looked into the Mirror of Erised he saw the family he never had not his becoming a powerful wizard. This allowed him to handle the Sorcerer's stone and keep it out of Voldemort's hands. I've always believed that Dumbledore understood Voldemort more than he did Harry because both of them had been power hungry in their youth and Harry was nothing like them.
