Well, I will likely never read B7 again even though Jo does claim it is "all there on the page". If folks like you and I don't get it, it's a problem even if she refuses to face it.
Jo could have handled the wand disconnect by describing the Elder Wand "virtually unbeatable in the right hands as the wand chooses the wizard". This would short-cicuit all the ownership logic issues you describe above which cascade back to B1.
So answer me this: why did RAB go to the Cave on a certain suicide mission with no concrete Horcrux destruction plans? Was it because he objected to the way Voldemort was using his house elf? Didn't his Mum behead the little buggers when they outgrew their usefulness? Is this explanation right there on the page?
