The Elder Wand refused to harm its rightful owner and removed itself from Voldemort which caused the Killing curse he cast to rebound and kill him. Another character whose age people have trouble pinpointing is professor Severus Snape. Although he is not as old as Lord Voldemort people still struggle with determining his age in comparison to other characters.
He started his first year at Hogwarts in , which means he was born in Even though a great period of time separates the two, they are closely connected. After all, Snape became a Death Eater right after finishing his education at Hogwarts. He remained in this position until Lord Voldemort learned about the prophecy of a child that will cause his downfall. Because they are shown together in Hogwarts during a scene in the movies many believe Hagrid to be the same age as Lord Voldemort, however, that is not the case.
Although they attended Hogwarts during the same time Hagrid is younger. Tom Riddle was born in and Hagrid was born in , which makes him 2 years younger.

Tom Riddle learns to open the Chamber of Secrets and releases the Basilisk He had first heard about the Chamber of Secrets five years before and had spent that time working out there it could be located and how to enter it.
Offered this choice, Voldemort chose the doomed fight. The parallel with many religious belief structures is unmistakeable, and will not be belabored here. One key fact is that Harry did not actually kill Voldemort.
He was dueling with Voldemort at the time, and he was in a way responsible, but it was the spell that Voldemort cast that actually killed him. Harry's hands remain unbloodied and his soul remains intact. One thing that is touched on also is that by allowing Voldemort to kill him, Harry is protecting the fighters at Hogwarts.
Voldemort has said that Hogwarts will be spared if Harry comes to him, and so in a manner similar to Harry being protected by his mother's sacrifice, Harry's sacrifice protects the occupants of Hogwarts.
Despite the fact that Harry does not actually die, it seems that magic does not require that. It is because of this sacrifice that Voldemort's spells seem largely ineffective on the population of Hogwarts following the episode in the Forbidden Forest.
Despite our understanding, following the events in the Forbidden Forest, that Harry may not be vulnerable to Voldemort, we are as yet unsure of the fates of anyone else, or of the school. Despite our confidence that Harry will prevail, suspense is still retained, and even heightened, as we launch into the final battle.
So many of Harry's friends have already died or been injured; will Ginny, seen fighting Bellatrix, survive? Will Molly Weasley prevail? Will the school be able to open again? It is to the author's credit that she is able to bring satisfactory closure to the many tangled threads of the plot, even as the tangles multiply in the final battles. Study questions are meant to be left for each student to answer; please don't answer them here.
With the defeat of Voldemort, our story comes to its effective end.
