I just cant figure it out....How did Harry become true master of Elder wand? I know that it was Draco who disarmed DD so he became its master. Though Harry disarmed Draco in Malfoy's Manor but that was not Elder Wand. So how does Harry become its master? More over Why did killing curse back fired on Voldemort through Elder Wand?

As stated in the book, the wand seeks the Master. In book 6, Draco bested Dubledore and knocked the wand from his hand. The wand then would transfer it's control to Draco, even if he didn't pick it up or use it. At the Malfoy residence, Harry defeated Draco, taking 2 wands from his hand. Even though the wand was not there, when it came in contact with Harry, it knew that he had beaten Draco, therefor being the wands true Master. There is another discussion which does explain a bit about how Draco became Master of the wand, but as I read it, and I read the final battle a couple of times to understand things, this is how Harry has become the Master of the Elder Wand.

the elder wand could only be defeated if one intends to take not for gain but for good cause.. just like how dumbledore won it by defeating grindelwald..
