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!

The elder wand was one of three peverell brothers that he received when they "tricked" death, and he gave them each a wish. The brother wished for a wand that could not be defeated in duel, but the wand has been stolen and masters of it killed for years. It is all explained in the seventh book when hermoine reads the book that Dumbledore gave her in his will. It's explained late in the book, after Mr. Lovegood attempts to give Harry to the Death Eaters for return of his daughter Luna. - hope this helps.

the elder wand from Harry Potter had been passed on from wizard to wizard by murder. Dumbledore had acquired it by defeating grindelwald. since snapes killing of dumbledore was an agreement snape had never defeated dumbledore but when Draco disarmed him he unknowingly became the master of the elder wand even though he had never killed him. Later in the series harry disarmed Draco and even though Draco never used the elder wand it had become harry's because he defeated its master.

Albus Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindelwald, who was the wands previous owner. This meant the wands allegiance changed to Dumbledore who quietly began to use the wand. He didn't tell anybody about the wand which is how he managed to keep it.
