The thing with the elderwand actually made more since then the changes she made in how underage magic was detected. The total change made the whole story seem like fan fiction rather then the authoritive book.
Albus lost his wand (the elderwand) to Draco, thus he was the new owner of it. The next time that Draco lost his wand, even though it wasn't the elderwand, was to Harry. Thus the Elderwand chose the new, greater, wizard of the two.
The change in the underage magic detection was appalling. In book six there was a lot made of the fact that the ministry couldn't detect who performed magic, only where it was performed. Which ment if any adults were in the area of Harry, or he was were adults could be then he could be detected. His house was so well guarded that the ministry could detect if any magic adults were in the area. But nowere else was set up that way. Once he got away from his house he clearly should have been able to use magic. The presents of magical adults alone should have set off enough bells at the ministry. Who used the magic then wouldn't have mattered. They couldn't have detected it and couldn't have blamed him for it. In this book it's clear there is a magical detection on underagers that is lifted or wheres off when they turn 17. How is this put on or are they born with it. Even LV couldn't detect minors in the cave, although he himself used lots of strong magic as a minor all over Briton it would seem. Why could TR the minor get away with it while HP the minor would be detected. Besides, what difference would there be. He used it anyway and he wasn't tracked with it. There was a big issue of it and it didn't matter in the story. Why make such a startling change when it made no difference in the story.
The only area it changed was when they went to that cafe and the deatheaters followed. He thought he still had the tracker after he left. The whole thing just bugged me.
