Harry Potter Question

I have a question about "Expelliarmus"...

In the books, Draco disarms Dumbledore, and the Elder Wand belongs to him. Then, Harry disarms Draco, even though Draco didn't have the Elder Wand at the time, and the wand belongs to Harry. But throughout the books, a lot of people disarm each other, and the wands don't switch loyalties. Why is this? Is the disarming thing only with the Elder Wand? I don't quite understand. Thanks! :)

Harry Potter best answer

BlackHound said:

Because the wand itself chooses whether or not it changes allegence. A deep relationship develops between wand and master, and some wands will not accept another master. The Elder Wand, however, did not care who wielded it; it cared only for power.

Please note, that in many instances, the one who was disarmed regained their wand, so whether it would have recognized the disarmer as its new master is not relevant.

Very good question and a clever answer. 100% agree. The Elder Wand is the most powerful wand and its true allegiance is to who seize power. Which makes me wonder : whom is the Elder Wand most suited to in this regard ? To Voldemort or to Dumbledore ?
