Harry discusses his decision with Dumbledore (when he is in sort of limbo before defeating Lord Voldemort for the last time).
This nuance was lost on Lord Voldemort, who wrongly assumed Severus Snape held the Elder Wand because he was Dumbledore's killer, when in reality Draco had disarmed Dumbledore before Snape arrived on the scene, making Malfoy the wand's true new owner.
