I've wondered about this. Hermione loses he wand during the Malfoy Manor chapter. And her wand is taken by(i.e won over) the snatchers....
And she leaves her wand behind in Malfoy Manor and they steal Bellatrix's wand from there.
Hermione has no option but to use Bellatrix's wand...but she does is grudgingly..and she loathes the wand. She has NOT won it over and so does not own it.
In the Battle of Hogwarts, she is using Bella's wand...and at the end, she, Ginny and Luna are all battling Bellatrix.
Now, if Hermione's using Bella's own wand against her...how does the wand work???
Maybe coz Ron or Harry won over bella's wand? And it belongs, now, to neither Bella nor Hermione.
Also...did Bellatrix use Hermione's wand in that last battle??? It seems logical, since her own wand was stolen...and there's neither Ollivander nor Gregorovitch to make her a new wand...
So,if she was using it, did it weaken Bellatrix somehow? And hence she lost to Molly?
Wands are so damn confusing!
Its not as confusing as it seems to be ... Ron had taken Wormtail's wand from him forcibly. Harry had used it to disarm Bellatrix, so now her wand owes its allegiance to Harry, who later gives it willingly to Hermione, Now since the Wand was won from bellatrix it won't matter if it was attacking her since she was no longer its master. and also as Ollivander said, you can use any one's wand to cast a spell (or for that matter anything to channel a wizards magic through it.), but usually the best results will be obtained from a wand that has allegiance to the wizard like the wand that selects a wizard as its owner, or a wand that has been won over by a wizard. We can see this when harry takes Hermione's wand in the forest of Dean. though he's able to produce magic from it but is not as good as he had been doing with his own wand.
And as to whether Bellatrix was using Hermione's wand or not is not known. But your assumptions are most likely to be correct, as Gregorovitch is dead already, and Ollivander is free and under the Order's protection at the Burrow.
Maybe that played a part as to why she died.... any ways it doesn't matter to me as long as she's dead that nasty little piece of you know what.... 😛 😉
And yeah I absolutely agree wands can be confusing as well as troublesome..... 😛
