Snape's Patronus

[dlevene]

Ok, question: in the Pensieve near the end, when Dumbledore told Snape Harry must die, Snape has a bit of a grumble and then produces his Patronus which proceeds to go out of the window. Dumbledore tearily asks: "After all this time?" and Snape answers "Always".

What is this all about?? I cannot figure it out.

Also, while you're here, why was Draco the master of the Elder Wand, and how did Harry know?

Thanks!!

Dumbledore asks snape if he cares for harry then snape casts his patronus which is a doe, the same as harry mother and says always, meaning hehas always cared for harry because of his love for lily shown in the memories and the fact that he has the same patronus as her.

Draco was the one who disarmed the elder wand from dumbledore meaning it was passed on to him now. You dont have to kill to gain ownership it just must be taken against the will of its current master or something like that

excluding the sixth book can you think the hints jk left to prove that snape loved lily?

But how could Harry become the master of the Elder Wand? He didn't take it from Draco, he took Draco's other wand. That wand will be his, but how could he become master of the Elder Wand? I didn't understand when Harry explained it in the book.

draco has disarmed dumbledore at the top of the twoer before he died, whilst dumbledore was the master of the edler wand, by disarming him, malfoy became the new master, but didnt know this as he never had the wand, it was buried with dumbledore, and so when harry disarmed malfoy, he became the owner of the elder wand. it doesnt matter which wand he took , he still disarmed him so became the new master of it

The wands both had the same owner. Both belonged to Draco. Therefore they had the connection. So they wouldn't duel correctly against each other.

My personal explination is that when Harry makes his speech he is claiming the Elder wand from Draco alongside the wand he had physically taken. Making it rightfully his in wand lore. The Elderwand became Harrys just instants before the small duel.

I just can't believe that yet again Expelliarmus saved his life.

the elder wand became harrys when he disarmed malfoy in his house he says 'i disarmed him weeks ago'

I love that harrys signature spell killed voldy

although, wasnt snape the master of the elder wand because he killed dd and thats why voldy killed snape? and if draco disarmed dd...and got the elder wand...didnt he keep it or something? harry never got that wand from draco, he got it from voldy. so much to remember...

DO YOU READ?

Snape and Dumbledore had planned the death scene together. So Snape didn't defeat Dumbledore. Before Snape came along, Malfoy was the one who had Dumbledore down and disarmed him. So Malfoy was the new master. Malfoy never got the elder wand. He knew nothing about it. "Holding" the wand doesn't mean ownership. The wand senses and knows the owner without the owner touching it. So it doesn't matter if Harry didn't get the wand from Malfoy.
