The only wand we know Dumbledore to own in the books is the Elder's Wand, although it is reasonable to assume that he had a wand previously as he was able to defeat someone to get the wand (not going to say who). If you ignore the end of the sixth book and the entire of the seventh book, Dumbledore still has the Elder's Wand's allegiance, and as the Elder's Wand is the most powerful wand in the wizarding world, Dumbledore's wand would be much more powerful than Harry's.
It is suggested in the books that the wands themselves don't actually differ in power (excluding the Elder's Wand of course), but the power actually lies with the wizard or witch controlling them. So if Dumbledore didn't own the Elder's Wand, both his and Harry's wands would probably be the same in power.

LaoRonald Weasley's first wand was a hand-me-down from his brother Charlie and had a few chips an dents in it. It was made of ash with a unicorn hair core. Evidently , Ron broke this wand in his second year. After attempting to repair it (with no success) he purchased a new one from Ollivander's made of Willow, 14 inches with a unicorn hair core. This one seemed to suit him better.

How did the elder wand get to dumbledore?
Actually, Dumbledore didn't intend on Harry getting the Elder Wand. As said in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the only way you become the master of the wand is either you disarm the master and/or, you kill them. So when Draco disarmed Dumbledore in the sixth book that made Draco the master. In the seventh book, at Malfoy Manor, Harry disarmed Draco by taking his wand, making him the master of the Elder Wand.
Did Draco Malfoy take the elder wand from Albus Dumbledore after he died?
Draco was the actual master of the elder wand because Dumbledore's death was already planned, so when Snape killed him, it wasn't actually a takeover of the wand. Because Draco was the last to disarm Dumbledore, or 'take' his wand, it recognized Draco as it's master. This is how Voldemort was ultimately killed, because Harry was using Draco's original wand. The elder wand recognized the wand as its master's, so Voldemort's killing curse was turned back upon him. However, Draco never actually had the Elder Wand in his possession. He never even knew he was the master until Harry revealed it.
Why is the elder wand harry's?
All right, so remember how Draco disarmed Dumbledore at the end of the sixth book? That means that Draco would be the master, but then Harry disarmed Draco later. Even though it wasn't the Elder Wand Draco had, Harry became the master because of that. That's how most interpert it anyway. Harry defeats Draco Malfoy who had disarmed Dumbledore. That made him the owner of the Elder Wand and when Voldemort tried to use it against Harry, it wouldn't kill it's true owner. i think it was all planned out by dumbledore! Actually when Draco dis-armed Dumbledore in The half Blood Prince, at the end right before Dumbledore was killed, the elder wand would then work for Draco, Then in the Deathly hallows when Harry dis-armed Draco that allowed him to be able to use the elder wand but he doesn't get the chance to use it until the end of the Deathly Hallows. Voldemort takes the wand off Dumbledore but that isn't enough to make it work for him because Harry is truly the owner. So when voldemort tries to kill Harry it wont kill him because he is the owner so it rebounds on voldemort therefore killing him!
Why does Voldemort kill himself?
He doesn't. Actually he does but it is an accident.. When Voldemort had the elder wand he did not know that even though he had possession of it he did not hold the power to it.... let me explain When Snape agreed with dumbledore to kill dumbledore it was a agreement planned so the power of the elder wand would have stayed with dumbledore but when Draco disarmed Albus up on the astronomy tower he took possession of the elder wand then when harry took dracos wand in malfoy manor he took possession of the power of the elder wand.... so what happened was the elder wand would not kill harry cause harry was it's true master so it rebounded and hit voldemort... there fore that was how voldemoret died
Who is gellert grindewald?
Gellert Gindelwald (1840-1998) was a Dark Wizard defeated by Dumbledore in 1945, although the two were once great friends. Great-nephew of Bathilda Bagshot, who was Dumbledore's neighbor when his family lived at Godric's Hollow, he struck up a friendship with Dumbledore when he came to visit his great-aunt. The two became obsessed with gaining power, particularly through the attainment of the Deathly Hallows. The break in friendship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald came when Aberforth Dumbledore confronted his brother and his friend about their plans, provoking a three-way duel. In the chaos, Ariana Dumbledore was killed, causing Grindelwald to flee the country. Gindelwald eventually stole the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows, from the wandmaker Gregorovitch, but lost the wand to Dumbledore after their famous duel. He founded the prison Nurmengard to hold his opponents, although he was sent there himself after his fall from power, and was killed there when he was confronted by Voldemort and told the latter that he no longer had the Elder Wand.
