Did Dumbledore plan for Harry to own the Elder Wand?
My interpretation of this phrasing is that although Dumbledore knew that – for his long game – he did not want Snape to have the Elder Wand, the compassionate part of him did. Dumbledore’s plan was, as Harry says, “to die undefeated, the wand’s last true master” (DH 742).
Who is the owner of the Elder Wand after Dumbledore?
Draco Malfoy
However, not all went according to Dumbledore’s plan, since Dumbledore was disarmed and thus was defeated by Draco Malfoy. Without his knowledge, Malfoy thus became the next master of the Elder Wand.
Why didn’t Dumbledore tell Harry about Snape’s plan to kill him?
Dumbledore had to keep certain things hidden from Harry just in case Voldemort read his mind. He did not want Harry knowing that Snape brought the sword of Gryffindor for that reason, it is very likely that he did not want Harry knowing that he planed to have Snape kill him for the very same reason.
Why did Dumbledore decide to keep his distance from Voldemort?
TLDR: Dumbledore knew Voldemort was trying to manipulate Harry and thought that keeping his distance would help Harry in the long run, which it didn’t. If I recall correctly, he believed that if he kept his distance from Harry, Harry wouldn’t be tempted by Voldemort’s influence.
How did Harry see Dumbledore’s wand flying over the ramparts?
Then, by the light of the Mark, he saw Dumbledore’s wand flying in an arc over the edge of the ramparts and understood Dumbledore had wordlessly immobilised Harry, and the second he had taken to perform the spell had cost him the chance of defending himself.
Why did Dumbledore treat Harry as coldly as he did?
So Dumbledore treated Harry as coldly as possible for many reasons: 1- He’s trying to keep himself and Harry safe. He doesn’t want Voldemort to know that he and Harry share a close bond that goes beyond Headmaster and pupil. He doesn’t want Voldemort to get the idea that he can use Harry to get to Dumbledore.
