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.
In the books it is explained that the Elder wand didn't work because it was Draco who disarmed Dumbledore and not Snape. Thus Snape was not the owner of the wand even though he killed Dumbledor.
He believed that Severus Snape was the true owner of the wand after he realised the wand was not living up to its full potential, as Voldemort thought that Snape had been the one to kill Dumbledore, not taking into account the fact that Draco had disarmed Dumbledore before Snape killed him.
No, Snape probably didn't know Harry had stolen Draco's wand. He may have known it didn't belong to himself, though.
He was playing him the entire time. So he wasn't going to tell him, even if he knew who the true master of the Elder Wand was. There's also no hints that Snape even knew who the Elder Wand's true master was.
We know the Elder Wand allied with Draco Malfoy, who disarmed rather than killed Albus Dumbledore. It later switched its loyalty to Harry Potter during his escape from Malfoy Manor.
Because he thought he had to kill the wands owner to claim possession of the wand.
Now, as firmly established, Snape was not the greatest fan of Harry, but that didn't mean that he ever stopped loving Lily. Dumbledore was surprised that Snape seemed to care for the boy. With a swish of his wand, Snape conjured up a Patronus – Lily's Patronus, a doe. 'Always,' he said.
“Dumbledore didn't want to lose his wand at that point and Draco disarmed him. So that meant that the wand gave Draco its allegiance, even though Draco never knew it, even though Draco never touched it. “From that moment on, that wand gave its allegiance to Draco, and it wouldn't work as well for anyone but Draco.”
Dumbledore had hoped, by having the Elder Wand placed with him in his tomb, that the power of the Wand would then be ended; the wand would transfer its allegiance to the latest person who had captured it, and as Snape had killed Dumbledore, it would be Snape to whom the wand owed its allegiance.
A doe. And in his final battle with Lord Voldemort, Harry explained the significance of this to his adversary, and to us: 'Snape's Patronus was a doe,' said Harry, 'the same as my mother's, because he loved her for nearly all of his life, from the time when they were children'.
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
Why didn't Dumbledore tell Snape about the Elder Wand so Snape could break it before Voldemort found it? The answer is simple: It was far too risky for Severus Snape to be aware of both the Hallows and the Horcruxes.
Horcruxes can only be destroyed in specific circumstances that allow it's complete and utter destruction. In the movies, the Horcruxes are destroyed in these ways: The killing curse — “Avada Kedavra.” Fiendfyre — a curse that creates powerful and magical flames.
Though Harry encountered many opportunities that deemed Avada Kedavra necessary, it remains as one of the Unforgivable Curses Harry Potter never cast. For one, he viewed the spell as an immoral practice commonly used by users of the Dark Arts.
"I regret it," said Voldemort coldly. When Voldemort finally works out the truth about the Elder Wand (albeit incorrectly) he sends Lucius to fetch Snape and then confronts him before killing him off. He confesses his apparent “regret” for having to kill him, twice.
Draco's refusal to reveal Harry's identity to Bellatrix was not because he liked him. It was because he believed that Harry was the only chance they had at defeating Voldemort. At first, Draco admired and revered Voldemort until he threatened his family's safety.
He finds out for sure immediately after Nagini's attack on Arthur Weasley. This night is significant in many ways. While Harry sleeps, he enters Nagini's mind.
Draco was torn between loyalty to his family, fear of Voldemort and worry for his former classmates. But Draco could not just flit from one position to another in one fell swoop – and instead of denying it was Harry completely, settled for a passive, 'I don't know. '
Harry Potter named his son after the character Professor Severus Snape in tribute to him dying for “for Harry out of love for Lily [Potter],”JK Rowling revealed on Friday.
With Harry and Hermione despondent after the events in Godric's Hollow and Ron trying desperately to find his way back to them, it was Snape's Patronus – the Silver Doe that was somehow familiar to Harry, perhaps because it recalled his mother's own Patronus – that brought them back together.
History Of Avada Kedavra
The Killing Curse was created in the early Middle Ages by Dark witches and wizards. Primarily, the curse was used to quickly slay opponents during a duel.
Because he didn't believe disarming him would be enough. After Dumbledore was dead, Voldemort would have been told everything. Including the fact that Draco disarmed Dumbledore. But all he cared about was who KILLED Dumbledore.
The reason that harry wasnt expelled is because Snape made the spell which dumbldore would be able to tell from the book which harry would have said that he found the spell from.
