Harry's decision After the repair, Harry told Dumbledore's portrait that he would place the Elder Wand back in Dumbledore's tomb, and when Harry died a natural death, the wand's power would be broken as Dumbledore had intended. The portrait of Professor Dumbledore approved.
Harry believes that if he dies a natural death while still having the true ownership of the wand its power will be broken and no one will be able to have such power. So Harry uses the wand to repair his original wand and then places the elder wand in Dumbledore's tomb.
Why was Harry the rightful owner of the Elder Wand?
Harry Potter became the owner of the Elder Wand after a skirmish with Draco led Harry to rip Draco's wand from his hand. Even though this was not the Elder Wand, the disarmament of Draco in any fashion still meant that the Elder Wand's ownership had now secretly passed to Harry.
Why did Dumbledore not leave the Elder Wand to Harry?
Dumbledore's plan was to die voluntarely, so the elder wand would not get a new master and therefor lose it's power, so Voldemort would never be able to own it. This plan of course didn't work, but was still part of the reason that everything worked out well in the end.
Notably, Voldemort appeared to be entirely unaware of this split, as he later created a seventh Horcrux in his quest to have six, and continued to target Harry Potter despite him now holding part of Voldemort's own soul.
The Elder Wand Did Belong To Whom ? (Draco? Snape? Voldemort? Or Harry Potter)
Did Dumbledore realize Harry was a Horcrux?
Dumbledore knew about Horcruxes. He knew how they were formed, what happened after that, etc. He probably got to know Harry was a Horcrux when he saw the Scar on Harry's forehead, but maybe he wasn't sure.
IT was when Harry and Hermione were on their own without Ron, and were hunting for the Horcruxes, its when Harry used to wake up with terrible headaches in themiddles of the night screaming sometimes. Hermione's research into Horcruxes at that time concluded Harry was Voldermot's Horcrux.
When Voldemort killed Harry why didn t the Elder Wand become his?
Its Potential Owner Had To Be Strong And Unafraid Of Death
Given that it contained overwhelming magic, the Elder Wand simply refused to obey anyone who was inferior in terms of power. As such, it would have presumably accepted Voldemort as its new master if he had thought to defeat or kill Draco Malfoy.
Ultimately, it's a good thing that Dumbledore's plans didn't work out because if Draco hadn't disarmed the headmaster, Harry wouldn't have gained the Elder Wand's power when he later disarmed Draco. This was proof that, unlike Dumbledore, Harry was destined to reunite the Hallows and become Master of Death all along.
The Elder Wand would not fatally harm its true master, and Voldemort knew this. This is precisely why Voldemort didn't use Avada Kedavra on Snape in Harry Potter, but slitting his throat would have amounted to the same thing.
His dad gave it to him. To elaborate on Icecreamdif's answer, he inherited it as a family heirloom dating back to Hardwin Potter, who married Iolanthe Peverell, granddaughter of the Cloak's original owner Ignotus. It was passed down to the eldest male of each new generation of Potters since then.
For the second time in Voldemort's life, the unforgivable curse rebounded on him, as the Elder Wand wouldn't kill its master. Since Harry and his friends had already destroyed all of Voldemort's Horcruxes, this finally ended Lord Voldemort's life, with Harry finally defeating the Dark Lord.
On confirming Draco's very much alive status, she plainly lied that Harry Potter was "dead". This action of hers was both very crucial and important, not only for Harry's survival but for Voldemort's final defeat as well, thus ensuring Harry was again protected by a mother's love, although indirectly.
Was Dumbledore only powerful because of the Elder Wand?
Dumbledore possessed the elder wand, but his talent, diligent work and exceptional mind were the only reasons he gained such a reputation and prominence in the wizarding world. A Harry Potter fan who thinks in great detail about the books, and tha Universe. No. In fact the Wand helped him not at all.
Severus Snape could never have become the wands owner because Dumbledores fall at his hands was planned, meaning Dumbledore wasn't truly conquered/defeated , and this was actually his plan all along, as the elder wand would die with him and it's true power could never be accessed ever again.
When Harry disarmed Draco in Malfoy Manor, the Elder Wand's allegiance shifted to him. Thus, when Voldemort tried to use the Killing Curse on Harry, the Elder Wand refused to attack him. The curse backfired, defeating the Dark Lord once and for all. It is unknown if Draco ever got his original wand back.
After seeing how cruelly Draco spoke to his friend, Harry firmly rejects the boy's offer, telling him that he's perfectly capable of telling the wrong sort for himself. In this case, Draco's arrogance reveals that he himself is in fact the 'wrong sort'.
The Disarming Charm became Harry Potter's signature spell, and it notably caused the final defeat of Lord Voldemort during the Battle of Hogwarts by rebounding his Killing Curse, because the Elder Wand recognised Harry as its master through the spell connection, and thus strengthened the Disarming Charm to the point ...
He believed he was now the Elder Wand's true master, but in the Battle of Hogwarts Harry Potter, his young adversary, revealed to Voldemort that the wand had not belonged to Snape, but to Draco, and, after defeating Draco himself, Harry Potter.
Dumbledore intended to die undefeated, the wand's last true master! If all had gone as planned, the wand's power would have died with him, because it had never been won from him!" But Draco (unexpectedly) became the wand's owner. "The true master of the Elder Wand was Draco Malfoy."
Family. Snape's family background is mostly shown in flashbacks during the course of the last three novels. Snape was born to Eileen Prince, a witch, and Tobias Snape, a Muggle, making him a half-blood (hence the name, "Half-Blood Prince").
At some point in time, Lord Voldemort gave Bellatrix Lestrange Hufflepuff's Cup, one of his Horcruxes, to keep safe in her vault, though he didn't tell her its true nature.
