> Kemper:
> My impression is that Snape would not become the master because there was an agreement between he and Dumbledore. The agreement essentially being 'I give permission for Snape to euthanize me.' That way Dumbledore would die the master of the Elder Wand and thus the wand could no longer have a master and act like just any ordinary wand like it did with Voldemort.

Cat:
Kemper I share your impression. Snape never "conquered" the wand's
master, he only did Dumbledore's (the elder wand's master) bidding.

It is often quoted that, "You can't take it with you." Well, in this
case, that is (IMHO) precisely what Dumbledore intended. Dumbledore
wanted to take the wand "out of circulation" and thus preventing the
chaos and death that would result if its actual existence was
confirmed. .... And return the wand to Death.

To Reiterate: 1. Yes, he wanted to protect Draco's soul.
2. He already protected Snape's soul (from the
consequences of Dumbledore's death) by requesting that he (Snape)
kill him (Dumbledore) when "the time was right".

Crescent:

The book never really made it clear whether Dumbledore expected Snape
to become the master of the Elder Wand. However, because of Draco's
disarming him, Draco DID become the master of the wand. And, of
course, when Harry overcame Draco and took Draco's wand, he then
became the master of the Elder Wand. Voldemort was under the
impression that Snape was the master of the wand because he killed
Dumbledore. And that is why he felt compelled to kill Snape.
