when voldemort and harry are in the great hall and talking and stuff right before voldemort dies, harry says that the Elder wand's true master is Draco Malfoy. I don't understand that. I thought that Dumbledore intended for Snape to have it and since Snape doesn't have it (because he's dead) that Harry would be the true master of it. How did Draco get to be the master of the Elder wand??

Draco disarmed Dumbledore in book 6 before Snape killed him. Even though Draco never came into possesion of the Elder Wand this made him the rightful owner of it because he stripped Dumbledore of it before Snape could kill him. So even though Snape killed Dumbledore Draco was the owner of his wand because he first disarmed him. The wand, however, was burried with Dumbledore. When Voldermort stole the wand from Dumbledore's grave he did not become the rightful owner because he did not get it from the rightful owner. Killing Snape did nothing because Draco was the true owner.

Dumbledore was in posesion of the Elder Wand up until the point when Draco used the Disarming spell against him. At the moment he used Expelliarmus(sp?), it went into Draco's posession. Voldemort thought that Snape was the owner since he'd murdered Albus but as Draco had previously Disarmed him, Snape didn't get the Elder Wand.
I hope this makes sense.

Draco is the one who disarmed Dumbledore at the end of Half-Blood prince. That makes Draco the master of the wand. Harry disarmed Draco in Malfoy Manor in book 7. That makes Harry the master of Draco's wands.

Dumbledore might have intended that... But it went wrong.
Draco is the master because he dissarmed Dumbledore at the end of book 6, even if he didn't kill him. He took his wand away from him, ergo, he WAS the master of his wand (the Elder Wand).
As far a Snape, he killed Dumbledore by agreement... So that does not seems to count towards wandlord.
As Ollivander's said: Wandlord is indeed tricky!
Goodluck!
