Ollivander's comment that the Elder Wand's master must always fear attack is revealing, meaning that whoever wields the wand, despite its superior power, remains vulnerable and can be conquered. We saw the same warning in the Tale of the Three Brothers, where the brother with the Elder Wand was murdered in his sleep the very night after he first used the wand in a duel. Harry realizes that if Grindelwald was the blond thief who stole the Elder Wand from Gregorovitch, and Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, that, even without killing him, the wand's allegiance must have shifted to Dumbledore. Considering Grindelwald's and the wand's combined power, it is a testament to Dumbledore's considerable magical abilities that he was victorious. It is also a testament to Dumbledore's humanity that he spared Grindelwald, allowing him to be permanently incarcerated for his heinous crimes, althoughthough Dumbledore's prior relationship with Grindelwald may have tempered his actions. However, that humanity came withhad a price: leaving Grindelwald alive left a trail leading directly to the Elder Wand. Harry correctly surmises that Voldemort now knows the Elder Wand exists, and he willis likely attempt to obtainseeking it; Harry later sees Voldemort at Hogwarts as he is about to retrieve it from Dumbledore's tomb. However, Harry, whose obsession with the Deathly Hallows had putendangered the mission at risk, decides to abandon his pursuitabandons forpursuing them and instead focus only on finding and destroying the Horcruxes, a decision he makes despite his lingering doubts about Dumbledore.
 
Harry deeply mourns Dobby's death, and his choosing to dig the grave manually is, for him, a gesture showing respect, gratitude, and love. The House-elf was not only his protector, but also a valued friend who forfeited his life to save himHarry and the others. Using magic to quickly and easily excavate a dirt hole would only have lessened Dobby's bravery and heroism in Harry's mind, and he feels obligated to exert himself physically to affirm Dobby's sacrifice before laying his fallen friend to rest. TheAlso, for Harry, who is overcome with emotion, the physical exertion helps alleviate Harry'shis anguish and anxiety and givesaffords him time to reflect calmly and rationally on recent events. Dobby's death, rather than arousing Harry's rage and vengeance, instead focuses him solely on defeating Voldemort. This tragedy and its aftermath have not only helped Harry gain much needed perspective regarding his mission, but it enables him to retake command. Harry also clothes Dobby's body, toan act that honorhonors him as a free elf, clothing symbolizing a House-elf's sovereignty. Harry further acknowledges Dobby's independence on his tombstone for all to see. Ron and Dean helping to dig the grave not only shows respect for and gratitude to Dobby, but also their solidarity with Harry. Luna leading the others in saying a few final words is probably one of the rare instances where wizards have ever paid tribute to a House-elf.
 
Harry choosing to dig Dobby's grave by hand seems to echo [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]'s digging a grave for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Aragog|Aragog]] in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 22|an earlier book]]. It is certainly true that for Harry and Hagrid digging their respective friends' graves by hand is more respectful and emotionally healing than using magic. Quite possibly, Harry and Hagrid are not alone among wizards in feeling that using magic, with its effortless appearance, to bury someone is somehow less meaningful. Readers may have been taken aback by the unceremonious way [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Horace Slughorn|Professor Slughorn]] magically filled in Aragog's grave after the earlier incident, but we see here that Dobby's grave is similarly filled magically. From this, we conclude that Slughorn's action was standard practice, rather than possibly unseemly haste to get to the mead he had brought for the wake.
